Summary:
Half-precision floating point arguments and returns are currently
promoted to either float or int32 in clang's CodeGen and there's
no existing support for the lowering of `half` arguments and returns
from IR in AArch32's backend.
Such frontend coercions, implemented as coercion through memory
in clang, can cause a series of issues in argument lowering, as causing
arguments to be stored on the wrong bits on big-endian architectures
and incurring in missing overflow detections in the return of certain
functions.
This patch introduces the handling of half-precision arguments and returns in
the backend using the actual "half" type on the IR. Using the "half"
type the backend is able to properly enforce the AAPCS' directions for
those arguments, making sure they are stored on the proper bits of the
registers and performing the necessary floating point convertions.

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.

fadd/fmul reductions without reassoc are lowered to
VECREDUCE_STRICT_FADD/FMUL nodes, which don't have legalization
support. Until that is in place, expand these intrinsics on
ARM and AArch64. Other targets always expand the vector reduction
intrinsics.
Additionally expand fmax/fmin reductions without nonan flag on
AArch64, as the backend asserts that the flag is present when
lowering VECREDUCE_FMIN/FMAX.
