George Koehler b1b737ed6c Optimize procedures that do both a / b and a % b.
Enable this in CS for PowerPC; disable it for all other machines.
PowerPC has no remainder instruction; the back end uses division to
compute remainder.  If CS finds both a / b and a % b, then CS now
rewrites a % b as a - b * (a / b) and computes a / b only once.  This
removes an extra division in the PowerPC code, so it saves both time
and space.

I have not considered whether to enable this optimization for other
machines.  It might be less useful in machines with a remainder
instruction.  Also, if a % b occurs before a / b, the EM code gets a
DUP.  PowerPC ncg handles this DUP well; other back ends might not.
