Because references must be initialized using some evaluated expression, they
must point to something, and a callee can assume the reference parameter is
dereferenceable. Taking advantage of a new attribute just added to LLVM, mark
them as such.
Because dereferenceability in addrspace(0) implies nonnull in the backend, we
don't need both attributes. However, we need to know the size of the object to
use the dereferenceable attribute, so for incomplete types we still emit only
nonnull.

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.

According to the Itanium ABI (3.1.1), types with non-trivial copy constructors
passed by value should be passed indirectly, with the caller creating a
temporary.
We got this mostly correct, but forgot that empty structs can have non-trivial
constructors too and passed them incorrectly. This simply reverses the order of
the check.
