This is patch #4 of 4 to add -mcpu=future support to the PowerPC.
In the development for the power10 processor, GCC did not enable using the load
vector pair and store vector pair instructions when optimizing things like
memory copy. This patch enables using those instructions if -mcpu=future is
used.
I have tested these patches on both big endian and little endian PowerPC
servers, with no regressions. Can I check these patchs into the trunk?

gcc/
* config/rs6000/rs6000-cpus.def (ISA_FUTURE_MASKS_SERVER): Enable using
load vector pair and store vector pair instructions for memory copy
operations.
(POWERPC_MASKS): Make the bit for enabling using load vector pair and
store vector pair operations set and reset when the PowerPC processor is
changed.
* gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000.cc (rs6000_machine_from_flags): Disable
-mblock-ops-vector-pair from influcing .machine selection.
gcc/testsuite/
* gcc.target/powerpc/future-3.c: New test.
