PowerPC: Make -mcpu=future enable -mblock-ops-vector-pair.
This patch enables generating load and store vector pair instructions when
doing certain memory copy operations when -mcpu=future is used. In doing tests
on power10, it was determined that using these instructions were problematical
in a few cases, so we disabled generating them by default. This patch
re-enabled generating these instructions if -mcpu=future is used.
The patches have been tested on the following platforms. I added the patches
for PR target/107299 that I submitted on November 2nd before doing the builds so
that GCC would build on systems using IEEE 128-bit long double.

There were no regressions with doing bootstrap builds and running the regression
tests:
1) Power10 LE using --with-cpu=power10 --with-long-double-format=ieee;
2) Power10 LE using --with-cpu=power10 --with-long-double-format=ibm;
3) Power9 LE using --with-cpu=power9 --with-long-double-format=ibm; and
4) Power8 BE using --with-cpu=power8 (both 32-bit & 64-bit tested).
Note, I will be on vacation from Tuesday February 7th through Tuesday February
14th.
Can I check this patch into the GCC 13 master branch?
