The work done by the post-encoder (setting architecturally unused bits to 0 as
required) can be done by the existing operand that covers the "#0.0". This
removes at least one use of the discouraged PostEncoderMethod uses.

This implements the review suggestion to simplify the AArch64 backend. If we
later discover that we *really* need the extra complexity of the
ConstantIslands pass for performance reasons it can be resurrected.

This gives a DiagnosticType to all AsmOperands in sight. This replaces all
"invalid operand" diagnostics with something more specific. The messages given
should still be sufficiently vague that they're not usually actively misleading
when LLVM guesses your instruction incorrectly.

Weakly defined symbols should evaluate to 0 if they're undefined at
link-time. This is impossible to do with the usual address generation
patterns, so we should use a literal pool entry to materlialise the
address.

These instructions are a late addition to the architecture, and may
yet end up behind an optional attribute, but for now they're available
at all times.

This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
unless requested explicitly.
This initial commit should have support for:
+ Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
(except the late addition CRC instructions).
+ CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
+ Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
4GB.
+ Absolute and position-independent code.
+ GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
+ Debugging information.
The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.
This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
the changes to precisely what has been approved.
Further reviews would be gratefully received.
