expressions for mov instructions instead of silently truncating by default.
For the ARM assembler, we want to avoid misleadingly allowing something
like "mov r0, <symbol>" especially when we turn it into a movw and the
expression <symbol> does not have a :lower16: or :upper16" as part of the
expression. We don't want the behavior of silently truncating, which can be
unexpected and lead to bugs that are difficult to find since this is an easy
mistake to make.
This does change the previous behavior of llvm but actually matches an
older gnu assembler that would not allow this but print less useful errors
of like “invalid constant (0x927c0) after fixup” and “unsupported relocation on
symbol foo”. The error for llvm is "immediate expression for mov requires
:lower16: or :upper16" with correct location information on the operand
as shown in the added test cases.

Expressions for movw/movt don't always have an :upper16: or :lower16:
on them and that's ok. When they don't, it's just a plain [0-65536]
immediate result, effectively the same as a :lower16: variant kind.

We on the linker to resolve calls to the appropriate BL/BLX instruction
to make interworking function correctly. It uses the symbol in the
relocation to do that, so we need to be careful about being too clever.
To enable this for ARM mode, split the BL/BLX fixup kind off from the
unconditional-branch fixups.

Add range checking for the immediate operand and handle the "mov" mnemonic
choosing between encodings based on the value of the immediate. Add tests
for fixups, encoding choice and values, and diagnostic for out of range values.

(yes, this is different from R_ARM_CALL)
- Adds a new method getARMBranchTargetOpValue() which handles the
necessary distinction between the conditional and unconditional br/bl
needed for ARM/ELF
At least for ARM mode, the needed fixup for conditional versus unconditional
br/bl is identical, but the ARM docs and existing ARM tools expect this
reloc type...
Added a few FIXME's for future naming fixups in ARMInstrInfo.td
