Use virtual base registers on PPC

On PowerPC, non-vector loads and stores have r+i forms; however, in functions
with large stack frames these were not being used to access slots far from the
stack pointer because such slots were out of range for the signed 16-bit
immediate offset field. This increases register pressure because we need a
separate register for each offset (when the r+r form is used). By enabling
virtual base registers, we can deal with large stack frames without unduly
increasing register pressure.
