cmd/compile: use vsx loads and stores for LoweredMove, LoweredZero on ppc64x

This improves the code generated for LoweredMove and LoweredZero by
using LXVD2X and STXVD2X to move 16 bytes at a time. These instructions
are now used if the size to be moved or zeroed is >= 64. These same
instructions have already been used in the asm implementations for
memmove and memclr.

Some examples where this shows an improvement on power8:
