Amy Kwan b631f86ac5 [TLI][PowerPC] Introduce TLI query to check if MULH is cheaper than MUL + SHIFT ...

This patch introduces a TargetLowering query, isMulhCheaperThanMulShift.

Currently in DAG Combine, it will transform mulhs/mulhu into a
wider multiply and a shift if the wide multiply is legal.

This TLI function is implemented on 64-bit PowerPC, as it is more desirable to
have multiply-high over multiply + shift for words and doublewords. Having
multiply-high can also aid in further transformations that can be done.
