This adds infrastructure to print and parse MIR MachineOperand comments.
The motivation for the ARM backend is to print condition code names instead of
magic constants that are difficult to read (for human beings). For example,
instead of this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0, killed $cpsr
we now print this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14 /* CC::always */, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0 /* CC:eq */, killed $cpsr
This shows that MachineOperand comments are enclosed between /* and */. In this
example, the EOR instruction is not conditionally executed (i.e. it is "always
executed"), which is encoded by the 14 immediate machine operand. Thus, now
this machine operand has /* CC::always */ as a comment. The 0 on the next
conditional branch instruction represents the equal condition code, thus now
this operand has /* CC:eq */ as a comment.
As it is a comment, the MI lexer/parser completely ignores it. The benefit is
that this keeps the change in the lexer extremely minimal and no target
specific parsing needs to be done. The changes on the MIPrinter side are also
minimal, as there is only one target hooks that is used to create the machine
operand comments.

This adds a number of missing Thumb1 opcodes so that the peephole optimiser can
remove redundant CMP instructions.
Reapplying this after the first attempt broke non-thumb1 code as the t2ADDri
instruction can be used with frame indices. In thumb1 we use tADDframe.
