This will remove suboptimal branching from the generated ll/sc loops.
The extra simplification pass affects a lot of testcases, which have
been modified to accommodate this change: either by modifying the
test to become immune to the CFG simplification, or (less preferablt)
by adding option -hexagon-initial-cfg-clenaup=0.

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.

The code in updateDeadFlags removed unnecessary <dead> flags, but there
can be cases where such a flag is not set, and yet a register has become
dead. For example, if a mux with identical inputs is replaced with a COPY,
the predicate register may no longer be used after that.
