    ppc64: Handle short vectors as function return types
    
    Short synthetic vector types (i.e. those defined using GCC's
    attribute ((vector_size)) instead of AltiVec vector types)
    are returned in r3.  Fix ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value to
    correctly handle this.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
            * ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value_base): Handle short
            synthetic (non-AltiVec) vector types.
            (ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value): Likewise.
