Printing floating point number in decimal is inconvenient for humans.
Verbose asm output will print out floating point values in comments, it
helps.
But in lots of cases, users still need additional work to covert the
decimal back to hex or binary to check the bit patterns,
especially when there are small precision difference.
Hexadecimal form is one of the supported form in LLVM IR, and easier for
debugging.
This patch try to print all FP constant in hex form instead.

This patch follows some ideas from r352866 to optimize the floating
point materialization even further. It changes isFPImmLegal to
considere up to 2 mov instruction or up to 5 in case subtarget has
fused literals.
The rationale is the cost is the same for mov+fmov vs. adrp+ldr; but
the mov+fmov sequence is always better because of the reduced d-cache
pressure. The timings are still the same if you consider movw+movk+fmov
vs. adrp+ldr will be fused (although one instruction longer).
