The ISA states: "when ACC[i] contains defined data, the contents of VSRs

instruction directly writes to one of these VSRs." We aren't doing this.

This test only works on Power10 because the hardware implementation
happens to map ACC0 to VSRs 0-3, but will fail on any other implementation
that doesn't do this. So add xxmfacc between writing to the accumulator
and accessing the VSRs.

Applied to powerpc/next.
