[Altivec] Change vec_sl to a << (b % (sizeof(a) * 8))

For a << b (as original vec_sl does), if b >= sizeof(a) * 8, the
behavior is undefined. However, Power instructions do define the
behavior, which is equivalent to a << (b % (sizeof(a) * 8)).

This patch changes altivec.h to use a << (b % (sizeof(a) * 8)), to
ensure the consistent semantic of the instructions. Then it combines
the generated multiple instructions back to a single shift.

This patch handles left shift only. Right shift, on the other hand, is
more complicated, considering arithematic/logical right shift.
