Summary

On Mips32r2 bitcast can be expanded to two sw instructions and an ldc1 when
using bitcast i64 to double or an sdc1 and two lw instructions when using
bitcast double to i64. By introducing custom lowering that uses mtc1/mthc1 we
can avoid excessive instructions.

LGTM. I would reduce number of tests in the bitcast.ll. I think we can delete all checks with the -mno-ldc1-sdc1 because this option required only to force backend to use the mthc1 instruction.
