This diff includes the logic for setting the precision bits for each primary fixed point type in the target info and logic for initializing a fixed point literal.
Fixed point literals are declared using the suffixes
```
hr: short _Fract
uhr: unsigned short _Fract
r: _Fract
ur: unsigned _Fract
lr: long _Fract
ulr: unsigned long _Fract
hk: short _Accum
uhk: unsigned short _Accum
k: _Accum
uk: unsigned _Accum
```
Errors are also thrown for illegal literal values
```
unsigned short _Accum u_short_accum = 256.0uhk; // expected-error{{the integral part of this literal is too large for this unsigned _Accum type}}
```

IRgen optimization opportunities.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
The common pattern of
--
short x; // or char, etc
(x == 10)
--
generates an zext/sext of x which can easily be avoided.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
Bitfields accesses can be shifted to simplify masking and sign
extension. For example, if the bitfield width is 8 and it is
appropriately aligned then is is a lot shorter to just load the char
directly.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
It may be worth avoiding creation of alloca's for formal arguments
for the common situation where the argument is never written to or has
its address taken. The idea would be to begin generating code by using
the argument directly and if its address is taken or it is stored to
then generate the alloca and patch up the existing code.
In theory, the same optimization could be a win for block local
variables as long as the declaration dominates all statements in the
block.
NOTE: The main case we care about this for is for -O0 -g compile time
performance, and in that scenario we will need to emit the alloca
anyway currently to emit proper debug info. So this is blocked by
being able to emit debug information which refers to an LLVM
temporary, not an alloca.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
We should try and avoid generating basic blocks which only contain
jumps. At -O0, this penalizes us all the way from IRgen (malloc &
instruction overhead), all the way down through code generation and
assembly time.
On 176.gcc:expr.ll, it looks like over 12% of basic blocks are just
direct branches!
