Re-apply r276044/r279124/r305516. Fixed a problem where we would refuse
to place spills as the very first instruciton of a basic block and thus
artifically increase pressure (test in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/scavenging.mir:spill_at_begin)
This is a variant of scavengeRegister() that works for
enterBasicBlockEnd()/backward(). The benefit of the backward mode is
that it is not affected by incomplete kill flags.
This patch also changes
PrologEpilogInserter::doScavengeFrameVirtualRegs() to use the register
scavenger in backwards mode.

Revert because of reports of some PPC input starting to spill when it
was predicted that it wouldn't and no spillslot was reserved.
This reverts commit r305516.

Re-apply r276044/r279124. Trying to reproduce or disprove the ppc64
problems reported in the stage2 build last time, which I cannot
reproduce right now.

This implements execute-only support for ARM code generation, which
prevents the compiler from generating data accesses to code sections.
The following changes are involved:
* Add the CodeGen option "-arm-execute-only" to the ARM code generator.
* Add the clang flag "-mexecute-only" as well as the GCC-compatible
alias "-mpure-code" to enable this option.
* When enabled, literal pools are replaced with MOVW/MOVT instructions,
with VMOV used in addition for floating-point literals. As the MOVT
instruction is required, execute-only support is only available in
Thumb mode for targets supporting ARMv8-M baseline or Thumb2.
* Jump tables are placed in data sections when in execute-only mode.
* The execute-only text section is assigned section ID 0, and is
marked as unreadable with the SHF_ARM_PURECODE flag with symbol 'y'.
This also overrides selection of ELF sections for globals.
