cmd/internal/obj/ppc64: allow VR register arguments to VS registers

Likewise, reorder register numbers such that extended mnemonics which
use FPR arguments can be transparently encoded as a VSR argument for
the move to/from VSR class of instructions. Specifically, ensure the
following holds for all FPx and VRx constants: FPRx & 63 == x, and
VRx & 63 == x + 32.

This simplifies encoding machine instructions, and likewise helps
ppc64 assembly writers to avoid hokey workarounds when switching from
vector to vector-scalar register notation. Notably, many VSX
instructions are limited to vector operands due to encoding
restrictions.

Secondly, this explicitly rejects dubious usages of the m[tf]vsr
family of instructions which had previously been accepted.

 * Reject two GPR arguments for non-MTVSRDD opcodes. These
   have no defined behavior today, and may set RFU bits. e.g
   MTVSRD R1, R2, VS1

 * Reject FPR destinations for MTVSRDD, and only accept with two GPR
   arguments. This copies two GPR values into either half of a VSR. e.g
   MTVSRDD R1, R2, F1
   MTVSRDD R1, F1
