Repost [PATCH 2/6] PowerPC: Make -mcpu=future enable -mblock-ops-vector-pair.

[Michael Meissner]

This patch re-enables generating load and store vector pair instructions when
doing certain memory copy operations when -mcpu=future is used.

During power10 development, it was determined that using store vector pair
instructions were problematical in a few cases, so we disabled generating load
and store vector pair instructions for memory options by default.  This patch
re-enables generating these instructions if -mcpu=future is used.

The patches have been tested on both little and big endian systems.  Can I check
it into the master branch?

	* config/rs6000/rs6000-cpus.def (ISA_FUTURE_MASKS): Add
	-mblock-ops-vector-pair.
