    rs6000: Add %W print modifier
    
    Add a new %W print modifier to print_operand that prints the VSX
    register number plus two.
    
    Some future Power instruction patterns require printing two VSX
    registers corresponding to a __vector_pair operand. The existing
    %x print modifier emits the first VSX register using VSX register
    numbering. Add a new %W print modifier to emit the second VSX
    register of the pair.

            print modifier to print the VSX register number plus two.
