Summary:
This change is step three in the series of changes to remove alignment argument from
memcpy/memmove/memset in favour of alignment attributes. Steps:
Step 1) Remove alignment parameter and create alignment parameter attributes for
memcpy/memmove/memset. ( rL322965, rC322964, rL322963 )
Step 2) Expand the IRBuilder API to allow creation of memcpy/memmove with differing
source and dest alignments. ( rL323597 )
Step 3) Update Clang to use the new IRBuilder API.
Step 4) Update Polly to use the new IRBuilder API.
Step 5) Update LLVM passes that create memcpy/memmove calls to use the new IRBuilder API,
and those that use use MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() to use getDestAlignment()
and getSourceAlignment() instead.
Step 6) Remove the single-alignment IRBuilder API for memcpy/memmove, and the
MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() methods.

Summary:
Upstream LLVM is changing the the prototypes of the @llvm.memcpy/memmove/memset
intrinsics. This change updates the Clang tests for this change.
The @llvm.memcpy/memmove/memset intrinsics currently have an explicit argument
which is required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
dest (and source), and so must be the minimum of the actual alignment of the
two.
This change removes the alignment argument in favour of placing the alignment
attribute on the source and destination pointers of the memory intrinsic call.
For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 100, i32 4, i1 false)
will now read
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 4 %dest, i8* align 4 %src, i32 100, i1 false)
At this time the source and destination alignments must be the same (Step 1).
Step 2 of the change, to be landed shortly, will relax that contraint and allow
the source and destination to have different alignments.

The alias was only ever used on darwin and had some issues there,
and isn't used in practice much. Also fixes a problem with -mno-altivec
not turning off -maltivec.
Also add a diagnostic for faltivec/fno-altivec that directs users to use
maltivec options and include the altivec.h file explicitly.

This is a follow on from a similar LLVM commit: r253511.
Note, this was reviewed (and more details are in) http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151109/312083.html
These intrinsics currently have an explicit alignment argument which is
required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
source and dest, and so must be the minimum of those.
This change allows source and dest to each have their own alignments
by using the alignment attribute on their arguments. The alignment
argument itself is removed.
The only code change to clang is hidden in CGBuilder.h which now passes
both dest and source alignment to IRBuilder, instead of taking the minimum of
dest and source alignments.

Introduce an Address type to bundle a pointer value with an
alignment. Introduce APIs on CGBuilderTy to work with Address
values. Change core APIs on CGF/CGM to traffic in Address where
appropriate. Require alignments to be non-zero. Update a ton
of code to compute and propagate alignment information.
As part of this, I've promoted CGBuiltin's EmitPointerWithAlignment
helper function to CGF and made use of it in a number of places in
the expression emitter.
The end result is that we should now be significantly more correct
when performing operations on objects that are locally known to
be under-aligned. Since alignment is not reliably tracked in the
type system, there are inherent limits to this, but at least we
are no longer confused by standard operations like derived-to-base
conversions and array-to-pointer decay. I've also fixed a large
number of bugs where we were applying the complete-object alignment
to a pointer instead of the non-virtual alignment, although most of
these were hidden by the very conservative approach we took with
member alignment.
Also, because IRGen now reliably asserts on zero alignments, we
should no longer be subject to an absurd but frustrating recurring
bug where an incomplete type would report a zero alignment and then
we'd naively do a alignmentAtOffset on it and emit code using an
alignment equal to the largest power-of-two factor of the offset.
We should also now be emitting much more aggressive alignment
attributes in the presence of over-alignment. In particular,
field access now uses alignmentAtOffset instead of min.
Several times in this patch, I had to change the existing
code-generation pattern in order to more effectively use
the Address APIs. For the most part, this seems to be a strict
improvement, like doing pointer arithmetic with GEPs instead of
ptrtoint. That said, I've tried very hard to not change semantics,
but it is likely that I've failed in a few places, for which I
apologize.
ABIArgInfo now always carries the assumed alignment of indirect and
indirect byval arguments. In order to cut down on what was already
a dauntingly large patch, I changed the code to never set align
attributes in the IR on non-byval indirect arguments. That is,
we still generate code which assumes that indirect arguments have
the given alignment, but we don't express this information to the
backend except where it's semantically required (i.e. on byvals).
This is likely a minor regression for those targets that did provide
this information, but it'll be trivial to add it back in a later
patch.
I partially punted on applying this work to CGBuiltin. Please
do not add more uses of the CreateDefaultAligned{Load,Store}
APIs; they will be going away eventually.

In addition to enabling ELFv2 homogeneous aggregate handling,
LLVM support to pass array types directly also enables a performance
enhancement. We can now pass (non-homogeneous) aggregates that fit
fully in registers as direct integer arrays, using an element type
to encode the alignment requirement (that would otherwise go to the
"byval align" field).
This is preferable since "byval" forces the back-end to write the
aggregate out to the stack, even if it could be passed fully in
registers. This is particularly annoying on ELFv2, if there is
no parameter save area available, since we then need to allocate
space on the callee's stack just to hold those aggregates.
Note that to implement this optimization, this patch does not attempt
to fully anticipate register allocation rules as (defined in the
ABI and) implemented in the back-end. Instead, the patch is simply
passing *any* aggregate passed by value using the array mechanism
if its size is up to 64 bytes. This means that some of those will
end up being passed in stack slots anyway, but the generated code
shouldn't be any worse either. (*Large* aggregates remain passed
using "byval" to enable optimized copying via memcpy etc.)

This patch adds support for respecting the ABI and type alignment
of aggregates passed by value. Currently, all aggregates are aligned
at 8 bytes in the parameter save area. This is incorrect for two
reasons:
- Aggregates that need alignment of 16 bytes or more should be aligned
at 16 bytes in the parameter save area. This is implemented by
using an appropriate "byval align" attribute in the IR.
- Aggregates that need alignment beyond 16 bytes need to be dynamically
realigned by the caller. This is implemented by setting the Realign
flag of the ABIArgInfo::getIndirect call.
In addition, when expanding a va_arg call accessing a type that is
aligned at 16 bytes in the argument save area (either one of the
aggregate types as above, or a vector type which is already aligned
at 16 bytes), code needs to align the va_list pointer accordingly.
