Summary:
Mem op clustering adds a weak edge in the DAG between two loads or
stores that should be clustered, but the direction of this edge is
pretty arbitrary (it depends on the sort order of MemOpInfo, which
represents the operands of a load or store). This often means that two
loads or stores will get reordered even if they would naturally have
been scheduled together anyway, which leads to test case churn and goes
against the scheduler's "do no harm" philosophy.
The fix makes sure that the direction of the edge always matches the
original code order of the instructions.

If no alignment is set, the abi/preferred alignment of structs will be
used which may be higher than required. This can lead to extra padding
and in the end an increase in data size.

This is a partial revert of r244615 (http://reviews.llvm.org/D11942),
which caused a major regression in debug info quality.
Turning the artificial __MergedGlobal symbols into private symbols
(l__MergedGlobal) means that the linker will not include them in the
symbol table of the final executable. Without a symbol table entry
dsymutil is not be able to process the debug info for any of the
merged globals and thus drops the debug info for all of them.
This patch is enabling the old behavior for all MachO targets while
leaving all other targets unaffected.

Initialize all AArch64-specific passes in the TargetMachine so they can be run
by llc. This can lead to conflicts in opt with some command line options that
share the same name as the pass, so I took this opportunity to do some cleanups:
* rename all relevant command line options from "aarch64-blah" to
"aarch64-enable-blah" and update the tests accordingly
* run clang-format on their declarations
* move all these declarations to a common place (the TargetMachine) as opposed
to having them scattered around (AArch64BranchRelaxation and
AArch64AddressTypePromotion were the only offenders)

Perform store clustering just like load clustering. This change add
StoreClusterMutation in machine-scheduler. To control StoreClusterMutation,
added enableClusterStores() in TargetInstrInfo.h. This is enabled only on
AArch64 for now.
This change also add support for unscaled stores which were not handled in
getMemOpBaseRegImmOfs().

Other objects can never reference the MergedGlobals symbol so external linkage
is never needed. Using private instead of internal linkage means the object is
more similar to what it looks like when global merging is not enabled, with
the only difference being that the merged variables are addressed indirectly
relative to the start of the section they are in.
Also add aliases for merged variables with internal linkage, as this also makes
the object be more like what it is when they are not merged.

Instead of merging everything together, look at the users of
GlobalVariables, and try to group them by function, to create
sets of globals used "together".
Using that information, a less-aggressive alternative is to keep merging
everything together *except* globals that are only ever used alone, that
is, those for which it's clearly non-profitable to merge with others.
In my testing, grouping by Function is too aggressive, but grouping by
BasicBlock is too conservative. Anything in-between isn't trivially
available, so stick with Function grouping for now.
cl::opts are added for testing; both enabled by default.
A few of the testcases aren't testing the merging proper, but just
various edge cases when merging does occur. Update them to use the
previous grouping behavior. Also, one of the tests is unrelated to
GlobalMerge; change it accordingly.
While there, switch to r234666' flags rather than the brutal -O3.
