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.
(POWERPC_MASKS): Likewise.
