Currently, when there is a global register variable in a program that
is bound to an invalid register, clang/llvm prints an error message that
is not very user-friendly.
This commit improves the diagnostic and moves the check that used to be
in the backend to Sema. In addition, it makes changes to error out if
the size of the register doesn't match the declared variable size.
e.g., volatile register int B asm ("rbp");

This patch adds support for pointer types in global named registers variables.
It'll be lowered as a pair of read/write_register and inttoptr/ptrtoint calls.
Also adds some early checks on types on SemaDecl to avoid the assert.
Tests changed accordingly. (PR19837)

A few (mostly CodeGen) parts of Clang were tightly coupled to the
AArch64 backend. Now that it's gone, they will not even compile.
I've also deduplicated RUN lines in many of the AArch64 tests. This
might improve "make check-all" time noticably: some of those NEON
tests were monsters.

This patch implements global named registers in Clang, lowering to the just
created intrinsics in LLVM (@llvm.read/write_register). A new type of LValue
had to be created (Register), which just adds support to carry the metadata
node containing the name of the register. Two new methods to emit loads and
stores interoperate with another to emit the named metadata node.
No guarantees are being made and only non-allocatable global variable named
registers are being supported. Local named register support is unchanged.
