The C and C++ semantics for compare_exchange require it to return a bool
indicating success. This gets mapped to LLVM IR which follows each cmpxchg with
an icmp of the value loaded against the desired value.
When lowered to ldxr/stxr loops, this extra comparison is redundant: its
results are implicit in the control-flow of the function.
This commit makes two changes: it replaces that icmp with appropriate PHI
nodes, and then makes sure earlyCSE is called after expansion to actually make
use of the opportunities revealed.
I've also added -{arm,aarch64}-enable-atomic-tidy options, so that
existing fragile tests aren't perturbed too much by the change. Many
of them either rely on undef/unreachable too pervasively to be
restored to something well-defined (particularly while making sure
they test the same obscure assert from many years ago), or depend on a
particular CFG shape, which is disrupted by SimplifyCFG.

By default, the behavior of IT block generation will be determinated
dynamically base on the arch (armv8 vs armv7). This patch adds backend
options: -arm-restrict-it and -arm-no-restrict-it. The former one
restricts the generation of IT blocks (the same behavior as thumbv8) for
both arches. The later one allows the generation of legacy IT block (the
same behavior as ARMv7 Thumb2) for both arches.
Clang will support -mrestrict-it and -mno-restrict-it, which is
compatible with GCC.
