Tim Northover 3533ad6bbd AArch64: remove ConstantIsland pass & put literals in separate section.
This implements the review suggestion to simplify the AArch64 backend. If we
later discover that we *really* need the extra complexity of the
ConstantIslands pass for performance reasons it can be resurrected.

Tim Northover bcaca87d53 Fix formatting in AArch64 backend.
This should fix three purely whitespace issues:
    + 80 column violations.
    + Tab characters.
    + TableGen brace placement.

No functional changes.

Tim Northover e0e3aefdd3 Add AArch64 as an experimental target.
This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
unless requested explicitly.

This initial commit should have support for:
    + Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
      (except the late addition CRC instructions).
    + CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
    + Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
      4GB.
    + Absolute and position-independent code.
    + GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
    + Debugging information.

The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.

This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
the changes to precisely what has been approved.

Further reviews would be gratefully received.
