For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

This is a continuation of my patches to inform the X86 backend about what the largest IR types are in the function so that we can restrict the backend type legalizer to prevent 512-bit vectors on SKX when -mprefer-vector-width=256 is specified if no explicit 512 bit vectors were specified by the user.
This patch updates the vector width based on the argument and return types of the current function and from the types of any functions it calls. This is intended to make sure the backend type legalizer doesn't disturb any types that are required for ABI.

Amongst other, this will help LTO to correctly handle/honor files
compiled with O0, helping debugging failures.
It also seems in line with how we handle other options, like how
-fnoinline adds the appropriate attribute as well.

This is mostly a one-time autoconversion of tests that checked assembly after
"-Owhatever" compiles to only run "opt -mem2reg" and check the assembly. This
should make them much more stable to changes in LLVM so they won't break on
unrelated changes.
"opt -mem2reg" is a compromise designed to increase the readability of tests
that check dataflow, while minimizing dependency on LLVM. Hopefully mem2reg is
stable enough that no surpises will come along.
Should address http://llvm.org/PR26815.

In the final phase of the merge, I managed to disable a bunch of Clang
tests accidentally. Fortunately none of them seem to have broken in
the interim.

A few (mostly CodeGen) parts of Clang were tightly coupled to the
AArch64 backend. Now that it's gone, they will not even compile.
I've also deduplicated RUN lines in many of the AArch64 tests. This
might improve "make check-all" time noticably: some of those NEON
tests were monsters.

This adds Clang support for the ARM64 backend. There are definitely
still some rough edges, so please bring up any issues you see with
this patch.
As with the LLVM commit though, we think it'll be more useful for
merging with AArch64 from within the tree.
