This moves the registry higher in the LLVM library dependency stack.
Every client of the target registry needs to link against MC anyway to
actually use the target, so we might as well move this out of Support.
This allows us to ensure that Support doesn't have includes from MC/*.

This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
- Distinct metadata needs generating in the codegen to attach correct
AAInfo on the loads/stores after lowering, merging, and other relevant
transformations.
- This patch adds 'MachhineModuleSlotTracker' to help assign slot
numbers to these newly generated unnamed metadata nodes.
- To help 'MachhineModuleSlotTracker' track machine metadata, the
original 'SlotTracker' is rebased from 'AbstractSlotTrackerStorage',
which provides basic interfaces to create/retrive metadata slots. In
addition, once LLVM IR is processsed, additional hooks are also
introduced to help collect machine metadata and assign them slot
numbers.
- Finally, if there is any such machine metadata, 'MIRPrinter' outputs
an additional 'machineMetadataNodes' field containing all the
definition of those nodes.
