According to the SystemZ ABI, 128-bit integer types should be
passed and returned via implicit reference. However, this is
not currently implemented at the LLVM IR level for the i128
type. This does not matter when compiling C/C++ code, since
clang will implement the implicit reference itself.
However, it turns out that when calling libgcc helper routines
operating on 128-bit integers, LLVM will use i128 argument and
return value types; the resulting code is not compatible with
the ABI used in libgcc, leading to crashes (see PR26559).
This should be simple to fix, except that i128 currently is not
even a legal type for the SystemZ back end. Therefore, common
code will already split arguments and return values into multiple
parts. The bulk of this patch therefore consists of detecting
such parts, and correctly handling passing via implicit reference
of a value split into multiple parts. If at some time in the
future, i128 becomes a legal type, this code can be removed again.
This fixes PR26559.

The ABI allows sub-128 vectors to be passed and returned in registers,
with the vector occupying the upper part of a register. We therefore
want to legalize those types by widening the vector rather than promoting
the elements.
The patch includes some simple tests for sub-128 vectors and also tests
that we can recognize various pack sequences, some of which use sub-128
vectors as temporary results. One of these forms is based on the pack
sequences generated by llvmpipe when no intrinsics are used.
Signed unpacks are recognized as BUILD_VECTORs whose elements are
individually sign-extended. Unsigned unpacks can have the equivalent
form with zero extension, but they also occur as shuffles in which some
elements are zero.

This the first of a series of patches to add CodeGen support exploiting
the instructions of the z13 vector facility. This patch adds support
for the native integer vector types (v16i8, v8i16, v4i32, v2i64).
When the vector facility is present, we default to the new vector ABI.
This is characterized by two major differences:
- Vector types are passed/returned in vector registers
(except for unnamed arguments of a variable-argument list function).
- Vector types are at most 8-byte aligned.
The reason for the choice of 8-byte vector alignment is that the hardware
is able to efficiently load vectors at 8-byte alignment, and the ABI only
guarantees 8-byte alignment of the stack pointer, so requiring any higher
alignment for vectors would require dynamic stack re-alignment code.
However, for compatibility with old code that may use vector types, when
*not* using the vector facility, the old alignment rules (vector types
are naturally aligned) remain in use.
These alignment rules are not only implemented at the C language level
(implemented in clang), but also at the LLVM IR level. This is done
by selecting a different DataLayout string depending on whether the
vector ABI is in effect or not.

Add header guards to files that were missing guards. Remove #endif comments
as they don't seem common in LLVM (we can easily add them back if we decide
they're useful)
Changes made by clang-tidy with minor tweaks.

This adds the actual lib/Target/SystemZ target files necessary to
implement the SystemZ target. Note that at this point, the target
cannot yet be built since the configure bits are missing. Those
will be provided shortly by a follow-on patch.
This version of the patch incorporates feedback from reviews by
Chris Lattner and Anton Korobeynikov. Thanks to all reviewers!
