Currently, when edge weights are assigned to edges that are created when lowering switch statement, the weight on the edge to default statement (let's call it "default weight" here) is not considered. We need to distribute this weight properly. However, without value profiling, we have no idea how to distribute it. In this patch, I applied the heuristic that this weight is evenly distributed to successors.
For example, given a switch statement with cases 1,2,3,5,10,11,20, and every edge from switch to each successor has weight 10. If there is a binary search tree built to test if n < 10, then its two out-edges will have weight 4x10+10/2 = 45 and 3x10 + 10/2 = 35 respectively (currently they are 40 and 30 without considering the default weight). Each distribution (which is 5 here) will be stored in each SwitchWorkListItem for further distribution.
There are some exceptions:
For a jump table header which doesn't have any edge to default statement, we don't distribute the default weight to it.
For a bit test header which covers a contiguous range and hence has no edges to default statement, we don't distribute the default weight to it.
When the branch checks a single value or a contiguous range with no edge to default statement, we don't distribute the default weight to it.
In other cases, the default weight is evenly distributed to successors.

In particular, this preserves the kill flag, which allows the Thumb2 cbn?z
optimization to be applied in cases where a branch has been re-created after
the live variables analysis pass, e.g. by the machine block placement pass.
This appears to be low risk; a number of other targets seem to already be
doing something similar, e.g. AArch64, PowerPC.

The C and C++ semantics for compare_exchange require it to return a bool
indicating success. This gets mapped to LLVM IR which follows each cmpxchg with
an icmp of the value loaded against the desired value.
When lowered to ldxr/stxr loops, this extra comparison is redundant: its
results are implicit in the control-flow of the function.
This commit makes two changes: it replaces that icmp with appropriate PHI
nodes, and then makes sure earlyCSE is called after expansion to actually make
use of the opportunities revealed.
I've also added -{arm,aarch64}-enable-atomic-tidy options, so that
existing fragile tests aren't perturbed too much by the change. Many
of them either rely on undef/unreachable too pervasively to be
restored to something well-defined (particularly while making sure
they test the same obscure assert from many years ago), or depend on a
particular CFG shape, which is disrupted by SimplifyCFG.

This commit only handles IfConvertTriangle. To update edge weights
of a successor, one interface is added to MachineBasicBlock:
/// Set successor weight of a given iterator.
setSuccWeight(succ_iterator I, uint32_t weight)
An existing testing case test/CodeGen/Thumb2/v8_IT_5.ll is updated,
since we now correctly update the edge weights, the cold block
is placed at the end of the function and we jump to the cold block.

By default, the behavior of IT block generation will be determinated
dynamically base on the arch (armv8 vs armv7). This patch adds backend
options: -arm-restrict-it and -arm-no-restrict-it. The former one
restricts the generation of IT blocks (the same behavior as thumbv8) for
both arches. The later one allows the generation of legacy IT block (the
same behavior as ARMv7 Thumb2) for both arches.
Clang will support -mrestrict-it and -mno-restrict-it, which is
compatible with GCC.
