HexagonGenMux would collapse pairs of predicated transfers if it assumed
that the predicated .new forms cannot be created. Turns out that generating
mux is preferable in almost all cases.
Introduce an option -hexagon-gen-mux-threshold that controls the minimum
distance between the instruction defining the predicate and the later of
the two transfers. If the distance is closer than the threshold, mux will
not be generated. Set the threshold to 0 by default.

This patch lets the llvm tools handle the new HVX target features that
are added by frontend (clang). The target-features are of the form
"hvx-length64b" for 64 Byte HVX mode, "hvx-length128b" for 128 Byte mode HVX.
"hvx-double" is an alias to "hvx-length128b" and is soon will be deprecated.
The hvx version target feature is upgated form "+hvx" to "+hvxv{version_number}.
Eg: "+hvxv62"
For the correct HVX code generation, the user must use the following
target features.
For 64B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length64b"
For 128B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length128b"
Clang picks a default length if none is specified. If for some reason,
no hvx-length is specified to llvm, the compilation will bail out.
There is a corresponding clang patch.

Changes include:
- Updates to the instruction descriptor flags.
- Improvements to the packet shuffler and checker.
- Updates to the handling of certain relocations.
- Better handling of duplex instructions.

The -mattr options in these four tests have no effect on the output of
llvm-objdump. In the case of the two Mips tests, removing the -mattr option
left duplicate RUN lines so the duplicates have been removed.

The usual way to get a 32-bit relocation is to use a constant extender which doubles the size of the instruction, 4 bytes to 8 bytes.
Another way is to put a .word32 and mix code and data within a function. The disadvantage is it's not a valid instruction encoding and jumping over it causes prefetch stalls inside the hardware.
This relocation packs a 23-bit value in to an "r0 = add(rX, #a)" instruction by overwriting the source register bits. Since r0 is the return value register, if this instruction is placed after a function call which return void, r0 will be filled with an undefined value, the prefetch won't be confused, and the callee can access the constant value by way of the link register.
