This patch adds support for the z13 architecture type. For compatibility
with GCC, a pair of options -mvx / -mno-vx can be used to selectively
enable/disable use of the vector facility.
When the vector facility is present, we default to the new vector ABI.
This is characterized by two major differences:
- Vector types are passed/returned in vector registers
(except for unnamed arguments of a variable-argument list function).
- Vector types are at most 8-byte aligned.
The reason for the choice of 8-byte vector alignment is that the hardware
is able to efficiently load vectors at 8-byte alignment, and the ABI only
guarantees 8-byte alignment of the stack pointer, so requiring any higher
alignment for vectors would require dynamic stack re-alignment code.
However, for compatibility with old code that may use vector types, when
*not* using the vector facility, the old alignment rules (vector types
are naturally aligned) remain in use.
These alignment rules are not only implemented at the C language level,
but also at the LLVM IR level. This is done by selecting a different
DataLayout string depending on whether the vector ABI is in effect or not.
Based on a patch by Richard Sandiford.

The zEC12 provides the transactional-execution facility. This is exposed
to users via a set of builtin routines on other compilers. This patch
adds clang support to enable those builtins. In partciular, the patch:
- enables the transactional-execution feature by default on zEC12
- allows to override presence of that feature via the -mhtm/-mno-htm options
- adds a predefined macro __HTM__ if the feature is enabled
- adds support for the transactional-execution GCC builtins
- adds Sema checking to verify the __builtin_tabort abort code
- adds the s390intrin.h header file (for GCC compatibility)
- adds s390 sections to the htmintrin.h and htmxlintrin.h header files
Since this is first use of target-specific intrinsics on the platform,
the patch creates the include/clang/Basic/BuiltinsSystemZ.def file and
hooks it up in TargetBuiltins.h and lib/Basic/Targets.cpp.
An associated LLVM patch adds the required LLVM IR intrinsics.
For reference, the transactional-execution instructions are documented
in the z/Architecture Principles of Operation for the zEC12:
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/download/DZ9ZR009.pdf
The associated builtins are documented in the GCC manual:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/S_002f390-System-z-Built-in-Functions.html
The htmxlintrin.h intrinsics provided for compatibility with the IBM XL
compiler are documented in the "z/OS XL C/C++ Programming Guide".
