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.

The DataLayout can calculate alignment of vectors based on the alignment
of the element type and the number of elements. In fact, it is the product
of these two values. The problem is that for vectors of N x i1, this will
return the alignment of N bytes, since the alignment of i1 is 8 bits. The
vector types of vNi1 should be aligned to N bits instead. Provide explicit
alignment for HVX vectors to avoid such complications.
