[Bug target/36927] New: Altivec #pragma's can be implemented now

["pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

With the addition of the function specific attributes support, the #pragma that
the Altivec PIM describes can be implemented.
#pragma altivec_codegen on | off 
When this pragma is on, the compiler may use AltiVec instructions. When you set
this 
pragma off, the altivec_model pragma is also set to off. 
#pragma altivec_model on | off 
When this pragma is on, the compiler accepts the syntax specified in this
document, and the 
altivec_codegen pragma is also set to on. 
#pragma altivec_vrsave on | off | allon 
When this pragma is on, the compiler maintains the VRSAVE register. With allon 
selected, the compiler changes the VRSAVE register to have all bits set. It is
combined with 
#pragma altivec_vrsave off by having a parent function do the work once of
setting 
the value of the VRSAVE register with #pragma altivec_vrsave allon and the
function 
it calls uses the setting #pragma altivec_vrsave off.
