rustc: Add support for some more x86 SIMD ops

This commit adds compiler support for two basic operations needed for binding
SIMD on x86 platforms:

* First, a `nontemporal_store` intrinsic was added for the `_mm_stream_ps`, seen
  in rust-lang-nursery/stdsimd#114. This was relatively straightforward and is
  quite similar to the volatile store intrinsic.

* Next, and much more intrusively, a new type to the backend was added. The
  `x86_mmx` type is used in LLVM for a 64-bit vector register and is used in
  various intrinsics like `_mm_abs_pi8` as seen in rust-lang-nursery/stdsimd#74.
  This new type was added as a new layout option as well as having support added
  to the trans backend. The type is enabled with the `#[repr(x86_mmx)]`
  attribute which is intended to just be an implementation detail of SIMD in
  Rust.

I'm not 100% certain about how the `x86_mmx` type was added, so any extra eyes
or thoughts on that would be greatly appreciated!
