This frequently leads to cases like:
ldr xD, [xN, :lo12:var]
add xA, xN, :lo12:var
ldr xD, [xA, #8]
where the ADD would have been needed anyway, and the two distinct addressing
modes can prevent the formation of an ldp. Because of how we handle ADRP
(aggressively forming an ADRP/ADD pseudo-inst at ISel time), this pattern also
results in duplicated ADRP instructions (one on its own to cover the ldr, and
one combined with the add).

The AAPCS treats small structs and homogeneous floating (or vector) aggregates
specially, and guarantees they either get passed as a contiguous block of
registers, or prevent any future use of those registers and get passed on the
stack.
This concept can fit quite neatly into LLVM's own type system, mapping an HFA
to [N x float] and so on, and small structs to [N x i64]. Doing so allows
front-ends to emit AAPCS compliant code without having to duplicate the
register counting logic.

This commit starts with a "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and continues out
from there, renaming the C++ classes, intrinsics, and other
target-local objects for consistency.
"ARM64" test directories are also moved, and tests that began their
life in ARM64 use an arm64 triple, those from AArch64 use an aarch64
triple. Both should be equivalent though.
This finishes the AArch64 merge, and everyone should feel free to
continue committing as normal now.
