expressions for mov instructions instead of silently truncating by default.
For the ARM assembler, we want to avoid misleadingly allowing something
like "mov r0, <symbol>" especially when we turn it into a movw and the
expression <symbol> does not have a :lower16: or :upper16" as part of the
expression. We don't want the behavior of silently truncating, which can be
unexpected and lead to bugs that are difficult to find since this is an easy
mistake to make.
This does change the previous behavior of llvm but actually matches an
older gnu assembler that would not allow this but print less useful errors
of like “invalid constant (0x927c0) after fixup” and “unsupported relocation on
symbol foo”. The error for llvm is "immediate expression for mov requires
:lower16: or :upper16" with correct location information on the operand
as shown in the added test cases.

Changing the diagnostic message for out of range branch targets in 191686 broke the tests.
The diagnostic message for out of range branch targets was changed to be more consistent with the other diagnostics.

The long encoding for Thumb2 unconditional branches is broken.
Additionally, there is no range checking for target operands; as such
for instructions originating in assembly code, only short Thumb encodings
are generated, regardless of the bitsize needed for the offset.
Adding range checking is non trivial due to the representation of Thumb
branch instructions. There is no true difference between conditional and
unconditional branches in terms of operands and syntax - even unconditional
branches have a predicate which is expected to match that of the IT block
they are in. Yet, the encodings and the permitted size of the offset differ.
Due to this, for any mnemonic there are really 4 encodings to choose for.
The problem cannot be handled in the parser alone or by manipulating td files.
Because the parser builds first a set of match candidates and then checks them
one by one, whatever tablegen-only solution might be found will ultimately be
dependent of the parser's evaluation order. What's worse is that due to the fact
that all branches have the same syntax and the same kinds of operands, that
order is governed by the lexicographical ordering of the names of operand
classes...
To circumvent all this, any necessary disambiguation is added to the instruction
validation pass.

Unfortunately this addresses two issues (by the time I'd disentangled the logic
it wasn't worth putting it back to half-broken):
+ Coprocessor instructions should all be predicable in Thumb mode.
+ BKPT should never be predicable.

As an example of how the custom DiagnosticType can be used to provide
better operand-mismatch diagnostics, add a custom diagnostic for
the imm0_15 operand class used for several system instructions.
Update the tests to expect the improved diagnostic.
