This adds infrastructure to print and parse MIR MachineOperand comments.
The motivation for the ARM backend is to print condition code names instead of
magic constants that are difficult to read (for human beings). For example,
instead of this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0, killed $cpsr
we now print this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14 /* CC::always */, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0 /* CC:eq */, killed $cpsr
This shows that MachineOperand comments are enclosed between /* and */. In this
example, the EOR instruction is not conditionally executed (i.e. it is "always
executed"), which is encoded by the 14 immediate machine operand. Thus, now
this machine operand has /* CC::always */ as a comment. The 0 on the next
conditional branch instruction represents the equal condition code, thus now
this operand has /* CC:eq */ as a comment.
As it is a comment, the MI lexer/parser completely ignores it. The benefit is
that this keeps the change in the lexer extremely minimal and no target
specific parsing needs to be done. The changes on the MIPrinter side are also
minimal, as there is only one target hooks that is used to create the machine
operand comments.

Recommitting e93e0d413f after reverting due to test failures, which
will hopefully now be fixed. Original commit message:
After expanding the pseudo instructions, update the liveness info.
We do this in a post-order traversal of the loop, including its
exit blocks and preheader(s).

We have a whitelist of instructions that we allow when tail
predicating, since these are trivial ones that we've deemed need no
special handling. Now change ARMLowOverheadLoops to allow the
non-trivial instructions if they're contained within a valid VPT
block. Since a valid block is one that is predicated upon the VCTP so
we know that these non-trivial instructions will still behave as
expected once the implicit predication is used instead.
This also fixes a previous test failure.
