This commit prepares the way to start adding the main collection of
MVE instructions, which operate on the 128-bit vector registers.
The most obvious thing that's needed, and the simplest, is to add the
MQPR register class, which is like the existing QPR except that it has
fewer registers in it.
The more complicated part: MVE defines a system of vector predication,
in which instructions operating on 128-bit vector registers can be
constrained to operate on only a subset of the lanes, using a system
of prefix instructions similar to the existing Thumb IT, in that you
have one prefix instruction which designates up to 4 following
instructions as subject to predication, and within that sequence, the
predicate can be inverted by means of T/E suffixes ('Then' / 'Else').
To support instructions of this type, we've added two new Tablegen
classes `vpred_n` and `vpred_r` for standard clusters of MC operands
to add to a predicated instruction. Both include a flag indicating how
the instruction is predicated at all (options are T, E and 'not
predicated'), and an input register field for the register controlling
the set of active lanes. They differ from each other in that `vpred_r`
also includes an input operand for the previous value of the output
register, for instructions that leave inactive lanes unchanged.
`vpred_n` lacks that extra operand; it will be used for instructions
that don't preserve inactive lanes in their output register (either
because inactive lanes are zeroed, as the MVE load instructions do, or
because the output register isn't a vector at all).
This commit also adds the family of prefix instructions themselves
(VPT / VPST), and all the machinery needed to work with them in
assembly and disassembly (e.g. generating the 't' and 'e' mnemonic
suffixes on disassembled instructions within a predicated block)
I've added a couple of demo instructions that derive from the new
Tablegen base classes and use those two operand clusters. The bulk of
the vector instructions will come in followup commits small enough to
be manageable. (One exception is that I've added the full version of
`isMnemonicVPTPredicable` in the AsmParser, because it seemed
pointless to carefully split it up.)

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

After D41349, we can now directly access MCSubtargetInfo from
createARM*AsmBackend. This patch makes use of this, avoiding the need to
create a fresh MCSubtargetInfo (which was previously always done with a blank
CPU and feature string). Given the total size of the change remains pretty
tiny and we're removing the old explicit destructor, I changed the STI field
to a reference rather than a pointer.

Currently it's not possible to access MCSubtargetInfo from a TgtMCAsmBackend.
D20830 threaded an MCSubtargetInfo reference through
MCAsmBackend::relaxInstruction, but this isn't the only function that would
benefit from access. This patch removes the Triple and CPUString arguments
from createMCAsmBackend and replaces them with MCSubtargetInfo.
This patch just changes the interface without making any intentional
functional changes. Once in, several cleanups are possible:
* Get rid of the awkward MCSubtargetInfo handling in ARMAsmBackend
* Support 16-bit instructions when valid in MipsAsmBackend::writeNopData
* Get rid of the CPU string parsing in X86AsmBackend and just use a SubtargetFeature for HasNopl
* Emit 16-bit nops in RISCVAsmBackend::writeNopData if the compressed instruction set extension is enabled (see D41221)
This change initially exposed PR35686, which has since been resolved in r321026.

Some targets, notably AArch64 for ILP32, have different relocation encodings

Today, we always take into account the possibility that object files
produced by MC may be consumed by an incremental linker. This results
in us initialing fields which vary with time (TimeDateStamp) which harms
hermetic builds (e.g. verifying a self-host went well) and produces
sub-optimal code because we cannot assume anything about the relative
position of functions within a section (call sites can get redirected
through incremental linker thunks).
Let's provide an MCTargetOption which controls this behavior so that we
can disable this functionality if we know a-priori that the build will
not rely on /incremental.

Summary:
This is the first patch in the series to migrate Triple's (which are ambiguous)
to TargetTuple's (which aren't).
For the moment, TargetTuple simply passes all requests to the Triple object it
holds. Once it has replaced Triple, it will start to implement the interface in
a more suitable way.
This change makes some changes to the public C++ API. In particular,
InitMCSubtargetInfo(), createMCRelocationInfo(), and createMCSymbolizer()
now take TargetTuples instead of Triples. The other public C++ API's have
been left as-is for the moment to reduce patch size.
This commit also contains a trivial patch to clang to account for the C++ API
change. Thanks go to Pavel Labath for fixing LLDB for me.

There are two main advantages to doing this
* Targets that only need to handle one of the formats specially don't have
to worry about the others. For example, x86 now only registers a
constructor for the COFF streamer.
* Changes to the arguments passed to one format constructor will not impact
the other formats.

Introduce support for WoA PE/COFF object file emission from LLVM. Add the new
target specific PE/COFF Streamer (ARMWinCOFFStreamer) that handles the ARM
specific behaviour of PE/COFF object emission. ARM exception information is not
yet emitted and is a TODO item.
The ARM specific object writer (ARMWinCOFFObjectWriter) handles the ARM specific
relocation handling in conjunction with the WinCOFFObjectWriter in the MC layer.
The MC layer needs to be updated to deal with the relocation adjustments.
Branch relocations are adjusted by 4 bytes (unlikely their ELF counterparts).
Minor tweaks to switch multiple conditional checks into equivalent switch
statements. The ObjectFileInfo is updated to relax the object file setup for
Windows COFF. Move the architecture checks into an assertion. Windows COFF is
currently only supported on x86, x86_64, and ARM (thumb). Rather than
defaulting to ELF, we will refuse to generate an object file. This is better
though as you do not get an (arbitrary) object file which is different from the
request.

This patch fixes an old FIXME by creating a MCTargetStreamer interface
and moving the target specific functions for ARM, Mips and PPC to it.
The ARM streamer is still declared in a common place because it is
used from lib/CodeGen/ARMException.cpp, but the Mips and PPC are
completely hidden in the corresponding Target directories.
I will send an email to llvmdev with instructions on how to use this.

We used to generate the compact unwind encoding from the machine
instructions. However, this had the problem that if the user used `-save-temps'
or compiled their hand-written `.s' file (with CFI directives), we wouldn't
generate the compact unwind encoding.
Move the algorithm that generates the compact unwind encoding into the
MCAsmBackend. This way we can generate the encoding whether the code is from a
`.ll' or `.s' file.

This is a basic first step towards symbolization of disassembled
instructions. This used to be done using externally provided (C API)
callbacks. This patch introduces:
- the MCSymbolizer class, that mimics the same functions that were used
in the X86 and ARM disassemblers to symbolize immediate operands and
to annotate loads based off PC (for things like c string literals).
- the MCExternalSymbolizer class, which implements the old C API.
- the MCRelocationInfo class, which provides a way for targets to
translate relocations (either object::RelocationRef, or disassembler
C API VariantKinds) to MCExprs.
- the MCObjectSymbolizer class, which does symbolization using what it
finds in an object::ObjectFile. This makes simple symbolization (with
no fancy relocation stuff) work for all object formats!
- x86-64 Mach-O and ELF MCRelocationInfos.
- A basic ARM Mach-O MCRelocationInfo, that provides just enough to
support the C API VariantKinds.
Most of what works in otool (the only user of the old symbolization API
that I know of) for x86-64 symbolic disassembly (-tvV) works, namely:
- symbol references: call _foo; jmp 15 <_foo+50>
- relocations: call _foo-_bar; call _foo-4
- __cf?string: leaq 193(%rip), %rax ## literal pool for "hello"
Stub support is the main missing part (because libObject doesn't know,
among other things, about mach-o indirect symbols).
As for the MCSymbolizer API, instead of relying on the disassemblers
to call the tryAdding* methods, maybe this could be done automagically
using InstrInfo? For instance, even though PC-relative LEAs are used
to get the address of string literals in a typical Mach-O file, a MOV
would be used in an ELF file. And right now, the explicit symbolization
only recognizes PC-relative LEAs. InstrInfo should have already have
most of what is needed to know what to symbolize, so this can
definitely be improved.
I'd also like to remove object::RelocationRef::getValueString (it seems
only used by relocation printing in objdump), as simply printing the
created MCExpr is definitely enough (and cleaner than string concats).
