NEON is not IEEE 754 compliant, so we should avoid lowering single-precision
floating point operations with NEON unless unsafe-math is turned on. The
equivalent VFP instructions are IEEE 754 compliant, but in some cores they're
much slower, so some archs/OSs might still request it to be on by default,
such as Swift and Darwin.

Add a avoidWriteAfterWrite() target hook to identify register classes that
suffer from write-after-write hazards. For those register classes, try to avoid
writing the same register in two consecutive instructions.
This is currently disabled by default. We should not spill to avoid hazards!
The command line flag -avoid-waw-hazard can be used to enable waw avoidance.

- For now, loads of [r, r] addressing mode is the same as the
[r, r lsl/lsr/asr #] variants. ARMBaseInstrInfo::getOperandLatency() should
identify the former case and reduce the output latency by 1.
- Also identify [r, r << 2] case. This special form of shifter addressing mode
is "free".
