This adds diagnostic strings for the ARM general-purpose register
classes, which will be used when these classes are expected by the
assembler, but the provided operand is not valid.
One of these, rGPR, requires C++ code to select the correct error
message, as that class contains different registers in pre-v8 and v8
targets. The rest can all have their diagnostic strings stored in the
tablegen description of them.

Currently, our diagnostics for assembly operands are not consistent.
Some start with (for example) "immediate operand must be ...",
and some with "operand must be an immediate ...". I think the latter
form is preferable for a few reasons:
* It's unambiguous that it is referring to the expected type of operand, not
the type the user provided. For example, the user could provide an register
operand, and get a message taking about an operand is if it is already an
immediate, just not in the accepted range.
* It allows us to have a consistent style once we add diagnostics for operands
that could take two forms, for example a label or pc-relative memory operand.

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.

- we are now using immediate AsmOperands so that the range check functions are
tablegen'ed.
- Big bonus is that error messages become much more accurate, i.e. instead of a
useless "invalid operand" error message it will not say that the immediate
operand must in range [x,y], which is why regression tests needed updating.
More tablegen operand descriptions could probably benefit from using
immediateAsmOperand, but this is a first good step to get rid of most of the
nearly identical range check functions. I will address the remaining immediate
operands in next clean ups.

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.
