This commit adds a weak variant of the cmpxchg operation, as described
in C++11. A cmpxchg instruction with this modifier is permitted to
fail to store, even if the comparison indicated it should.
As a result, cmpxchg instructions must return a flag indicating
success in addition to their original iN value loaded. Thus, for
uniformity *all* cmpxchg instructions now return "{ iN, i1 }". The
second flag is 1 when the store succeeded.
At the DAG level, a new ATOMIC_CMP_SWAP_WITH_SUCCESS node has been
added as the natural representation for the new cmpxchg instructions.
It is a strong cmpxchg.
By default this gets Expanded to the existing ATOMIC_CMP_SWAP during
Legalization, so existing backends should see no change in behaviour.
If they wish to deal with the enhanced node instead, they can call
setOperationAction on it. Beware: as a node with 2 results, it cannot
be selected from TableGen.
Currently, no use is made of the extra information provided in this
patch. Test updates are almost entirely adapting the input IR to the
new scheme.
Summary for out of tree users:
------------------------------
+ Legacy Bitcode files are upgraded during read.
+ Legacy assembly IR files will be invalid.
+ Front-ends must adapt to different type for "cmpxchg".
+ Backends should be unaffected by default.

Implementing this via ComputeMaskedBits has two advantages:
+ It actually works. DAGISel doesn't deal with the chains properly
in the previous pattern-based solution, so they never trigger.
+ The information can be used in other DAG combines, as well as the
trivial "get rid of truncs". For example if the trunc is in a
different basic block.

The terminal barrier of a cmpxchg expansion will be either Acquire or
SequentiallyConsistent. In either case it can be skipped if the
operation has Monotonic requirements on failure.

The previous situation where ATOMIC_LOAD_WHATEVER nodes were expanded
at MachineInstr emission time had grown to be extremely large and
involved, to account for the subtly different code needed for the
various flavours (8/16/32/64 bit, cmpxchg/add/minmax).
Moving this transformation into the IR clears up the code
substantially, and makes future optimisations much easier:
1. an atomicrmw followed by using the *new* value can be more
efficient. As an IR pass, simple CSE could handle this
efficiently.
2. Making use of cmpxchg success/failure orderings only has to be done
in one (simpler) place.
3. The common "cmpxchg; did we store?" idiom can be exposed to
optimisation.
I intend to gradually improve this situation within the ARM backend
and make sure there are no hidden issues before moving the code out
into CodeGen to be shared with (at least ARM64/AArch64, though I think
PPC & Mips could benefit too).

The syntax for "cmpxchg" should now look something like:
cmpxchg i32* %addr, i32 42, i32 3 acquire monotonic
where the second ordering argument gives the required semantics in the case
that no exchange takes place. It should be no stronger than the first ordering
constraint and cannot be either "release" or "acq_rel" (since no store will
have taken place).
