This converts the ARM AsmParser to use the new assembly matcher error
reporting mechanism, which allows errors to be reported for multiple
instruction encodings when it is ambiguous which one the user intended
to use.
By itself this doesn't improve many error messages, because we don't have
diagnostic text for most operand types, but as we add that then this will allow
more of those diagnostic strings to be used when they are relevant.

Recently support was added for substituting one intruction for another by
negating or inverting the immediate, but ORR and ORN were missed so this patch
adds them.
This one is slightly different to the others in that ORN only exists in thumb,
so we only do the substitution in thumb.

Summary:
To support negative immediates for certain arithmetic instructions, the
instruction is converted to the inverse instruction with a negated (or inverted)
immediate. For example, "ADD r0, r1, #FFFFFFFF" cannot be encoded as an ADD
instruction. However, "SUB r0, r1, #1" is equivalent.
These conversions are different from instruction aliases. An alias maps
several assembler instructions onto one encoding. A conversion, however, maps
an *invalid* instruction--e.g. with an immediate that cannot be represented in
the encoding--to a different (but equivalent) instruction.
Several instructions with negative immediates were being converted already, but
this was not systematically tested, nor did it cover all instructions.
This patch implements all possible substitutions for ARM, Thumb1 and
Thumb2 assembler and adds tests. It also adds a feature flag
(-mattr=+no-neg-immediates) to turn these substitutions off. This is
helpful for users who want their code to assemble to exactly what they
wrote.
