If a copy exists between creation of a crbit and a spill, machine-cp
may delete the copy since it seems unaware of the relation between a cr
and crbit. A fix was previously made for the generic ppc64 lowering. It
should be applied to the pwr9 and pwr10 variants too.

Likewise, relax and extend the pwr8 test to verify pwr9 and pwr10
codegen too.

This fixes #143989.

For reference, the fix for the generic case was 3c7ac64.

Thank-you for the fix.
To prevent the same mistake from happening again when new CRbit spilling is added in the future, please move the "general" statement for this behaviour documented on lines 1137-1141 to the top of this "default:" block so new code added will take this into account.
