We have found that -- when the selected subarchitecture has a scheduling model
and we are not optimizing for size -- the machine-instruction combiner uses a
too-simple algorithm to compute the cost of one of the two alternatives [before
and after running a combining pass on a section of code], and therefor it throws
away the combination results too often.
This fix has the potential to help any ISA with the potential to combine
instructions and for which at least one subarchitecture has a scheduling model.
As of now, this is only known to definitely affect AArch64 subarchitectures with
a scheduling model.
Regression tested on AMD64/GNU-Linux, new test case tested to fail on an
unpatched compiler and pass on a patched compiler.

Re-commit of r214832,r21469 with a work-around that
avoids the previous problem with gcc build compilers
The work-around is to use SmallVector instead of ArrayRef
of basic blocks in preservesResourceLen()/MachineCombiner.cpp

sequence on AArch64
Re-commit of r214669 without changes to test cases
LLVM::CodeGen/AArch64/arm64-neon-mul-div.ll and
LLVM:: CodeGen/AArch64/dp-3source.ll
This resolves the reported compfails of the original commit.

sequence - AArch64 target support
This patch turns off madd/msub generation in the DAGCombiner and generates
them in the MachineCombiner instead. It replaces the original code sequence
with the combined sequence when it is beneficial to do so.
When there is no machine model support it always generates the madd/msub
instruction. This is true also when the objective is to optimize for code
size: when the combined sequence is shorter is always chosen and does not
get evaluated.
When there is a machine model the combined instruction sequence
is evaluated for critical path and resource length using machine
trace metrics and the original code sequence is replaced when it is
determined to be faster.

There really is no arm64_be: it was a useful fiction to test big-endian support
while both backends existed in parallel, but now the only platform that uses
the name (iOS) doesn't have a big-endian variant, let alone one called
"arm64_be".

I'm doing this in two phases for a better "git blame" record. This
commit removes the previous AArch64 backend and redirects all
functionality to ARM64. It also deduplicates test-lines and removes
orphaned AArch64 tests.
The next step will be "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and rewire most of the
tests.
Hopefully LLVM is still functional, though it would be even better if
no-one ever had to care because the rename happens straight
afterwards.

This completes the port of r204814 (cpirker "AArch64_BE function argument
passing for ARM ABI") from AArch64 to ARM64, and fixes a bunch of issues
found during later development along the way. The biggest of these was
that the alignment fixup logic wasn't replicated into all the places it
should have been.

We should set them to expand for now since there are no patterns
dealing with them. Actually, there are no instructions either so I
doubt they'll ever be acceptable.
