Currently, the interaction between the triple, the CPU, and the
supported features is a mess: the driver edits the triple to indicate
the supported architecture version, and the LLVM backend uses this to
figure out what instructions are legal. This makes it difficult to
understand what's happening, and makes it impossible to LTO together two
modules with different computed architectures.
Instead of relying on triple rewriting to get the correct target
features, we should add the right target features explicitly.

Summary:
The thumb-mode target feature is used to force Thumb or ARM code
generation on a per-function basis. Explicitly adding +thumb-mode to
functions for thumbxx triples enables mixed ARM/Thumb code generation in
places where compilation units with thumbxx and armxx triples are merged
together (e.g. the IR linker or LTO).
For armxx triples, -thumb-mode is added in a similar fashion.

"-arm-use-movt=0".
This change is needed since backend options do not make it to the backend
when doing LTO and are not capable of changing the behavior of code-gen
passes on a per-function basis.
