This patch lets the llvm tools handle the new HVX target features that
are added by frontend (clang). The target-features are of the form
"hvx-length64b" for 64 Byte HVX mode, "hvx-length128b" for 128 Byte mode HVX.
"hvx-double" is an alias to "hvx-length128b" and is soon will be deprecated.
The hvx version target feature is upgated form "+hvx" to "+hvxv{version_number}.
Eg: "+hvxv62"
For the correct HVX code generation, the user must use the following
target features.
For 64B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length64b"
For 128B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length128b"
Clang picks a default length if none is specified. If for some reason,
no hvx-length is specified to llvm, the compilation will bail out.
There is a corresponding clang patch.

Consider this case:
vreg1 = A2_zxth vreg0 (1)
...
vreg2 = A2_zxth vreg1 (2)
Redundant instruction elimination could delete the instruction (1)
because the user (2) only cares about the low 16 bits. Then it could
delete (2) because the input is already zero-extended. The problem
is that the properties allowing each individual instruction to be
deleted depend on the existence of the other instruction, so either
one can be deleted, but not both.
The existing check for this situation in RIE was insufficient. The
fix is to update all dependent cells when an instruction is removed
(replaced via COPY) in RIE.
