The built-ins set a value in a vector. The same operation can be done
in C-code. The assembly code generated from the C-code is as good or
better than the code generated by the built-ins. With default
optimization the number of assembly generated for the two methods are
similar. With -O3 optimization, the assembly generated for the two
approaches is identical for the 2DF and 2DI types. The assembly for
the C-code version of the 1Ti requires one less assembly instruction.
It also only uses one load versus two loads for the built-in.
With the removal of the built-ins, there are no other uses of the
set built-in attribute. The code associated with the set built-in
attribute is removed.
Finally, the testcase for the __builtin_vsx_set_2df is removed. The
other built-ins do not have testcases.
