[CodeGen] Move instruction predicate verification to emitInstruction

D25618 added a method to verify the instruction predicates for an
emitted instruction, through verifyInstructionPredicates added into
<Target>MCCodeEmitter::encodeInstruction. This is a very useful idea,
but the implementation inside MCCodeEmitter made it only fire for object
files, not assembly which most of the llvm test suite uses.

This patch moves the code into the <Target>_MC::verifyInstructionPredicates
method, inside the InstrInfo. The allows it to be called from other
places, such as in this patch where it is called from the
<Target>AsmPrinter::emitInstruction methods which should trigger for
both assembly and object files. It can also be called from other places
such as verifyInstruction, but that is not done here (it tends to catch
errors earlier, but in reality just shows all the mir tests that have
incorrect feature predicates). The interface was also simplified
slightly, moving computeAvailableFeatures into the function so that it
does not need to be called externally.

The ARM, AMDGPU (but not R600), AVR, Mips and X86 backends all currently
show errors in the test-suite, so have been disabled with FIXME
comments.

Recommitted with some fixes for the leftover MCII variables in release
builds.

[ARM] Undeprecate complex IT blocks

AArch32/Armv8A introduced the performance deprecation of certain patterns
of IT instructions. After some debate internal to ARM, this is now being
reverted; i.e. no IT instruction patterns are performance deprecated
anymore, as the perfomance degredation is not significant enough.

This reverts the following:

"ARMv8-A deprecates some uses of the T32 IT instruction. All uses of
IT that apply to instructions other than a single subsequent 16-bit
instruction from a restricted set are deprecated, as are explicit
references to the PC within that single 16-bit instruction. This permits
the non-deprecated forms of IT and subsequent instructions to be treated
as a single 32-bit conditional instruction."

The deprecation no longer applies, but the behaviour may be controlled
by the -arm-restrict-it and -arm-no-restrict-it command-line options,
with the latter being the default. No warnings about complex IT blocks
will be generated.

[objdump][ARM] Use correct offset when printing ARM/Thumb branch targets

llvm-objdump only uses one MCInstrAnalysis object, so if ARM and Thumb
code is mixed in one object, or if an object is disassembled without
explicitly setting the triple to match the ISA used, then branch and
call targets will be printed incorrectly.

This could be fixed by creating two MCInstrAnalysis objects in
llvm-objdump, like we currently do for SubtargetInfo. However, I don't
think there's any reason we need two separate sub-classes of
MCInstrAnalysis, so instead these can be merged into one, and the ISA
determined by checking the opcode of the instruction.

[ARM] do not consider sp as deprecated for ldm/stm

Early versions of the ARMv7 reference manuals considered the sp register
as a deprecated register for ldm/stm familiy of instructions. However,
later versions such as ARM DDI 0406C.d added a note to the Appendix:

D9.3 Use of the SP as a general-purpose register
Most ARM instructions, unlike Thumb instructions, provide exactly the
same access to the SP as to R0-R12. This means that it is possible to
use the SP as a general-purpose register. Earlier issues of this manual
deprecated the use of SP in an ARM instruction, in any way that is
deprecated, not permitted, or not possible in the corresponding
Thumb instruction. However, user feedback indicates a number of cases
where these instructions are useful. Therefore, ARM no longer deprecates
these instruction uses.
Also Armv8 manuals no longer consider SP as deprecated register for ldm/
stm A32 instructions.

Furthermore, GNU as also does not print a deprecated warning when using
SP with those instructions.

Drop deprecation warning for pop/ldm/push/stm instructions.

[X86][MC][Target] Initial backend support a tune CPU to support -mtune

This patch implements initial backend support for a -mtune CPU controlled by a "tune-cpu" function attribute. If the attribute is not present X86 will use the resolved CPU from target-cpu attribute or command line.

This patch adds MC layer support a tune CPU. Each CPU now has two sets of features stored in their GenSubtargetInfo.inc tables . These features lists are passed separately to the Processor and ProcessorModel classes in tablegen. The tune list defaults to an empty list to avoid changes to non-X86. This annoyingly increases the size of static tables on all target as we now store 24 more bytes per CPU. I haven't quantified the overall impact, but I can if we're concerned.

One new test is added to X86 to show a few tuning features with mismatched tune-cpu and target-cpu/target-feature attributes to demonstrate independent control. Another new test is added to demonstrate that the scheduler model follows the tune CPU.

I have not added a -mtune to llc/opt or MC layer command line yet. With no attributes we'll just use the -mcpu for both. MC layer tools will always follow the normal CPU for tuning.

[ARM] Add initial support for Custom Datapath Extension (CDE)

Summary:
This patch adds assembly-level support for a new Arm M-profile
architecture extension, Custom Datapath Extension (CDE).

A brief description of the extension is available at
https://developer.arm.com/architectures/instruction-sets/custom-instructions

The latest specification for CDE is currently a beta release and is
available at
https://static.docs.arm.com/ddi0607/aa/DDI0607A_a_armv8m_arm_supplement_cde.pdf

CDE allows chip vendors to add custom CPU instructions. The CDE
instructions re-use the same encoding space as existing coprocessor
instructions (such as MRC, MCR, CDP etc.). Each coprocessor in range
cp0-cp7 can be configured as either general purpose (GCP) or custom
datapath (CDEv1). This configuration is defined by the CPU vendor and
is provided to LLVM using 8 subtarget features: cdecp0 ... cdecp7.

The semantics of CDE instructions are implementation-defined, but the
instructions are guaranteed to be pure (that is, they are stateless,
they do not access memory or any registers except their explicit
inputs/outputs).

CDE requires the CPU to support at least Armv8.0-M mainline
architecture. CDE includes 3 sets of instructions:
* Instructions that operate on general purpose registers and NZCV
flags
* Instructions that operate on the S or D register file (require
either FP or MVE extension)
* Instructions that operate on the Q register file, require MVE

The user-facing names that can be specified on the command line are
the same as the 8 subtarget feature names. For example:

$ clang -target arm-none-none-eabi -march=armv8m.main+cdecp0+cdecp3

tells the compiler that the coprocessors 0 and 3 are configured as
CDEv1 and the remaining coprocessors are configured as GCP (which is
the default).

CMake: Make most target symbols hidden by default

Summary:
For builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
this change makes all symbols in the target specific libraries hidden
by default.

A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these
libraries public, which is mainly needed for the definitions of the
LLVMInitialize* functions.

This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about
25%. This should improve load times for the dynamic library and also
make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing
libLLVM.so

One side-effect of this change is that for builds with
LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that
access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.

Before and after public symbol counts (using gcc 8.2.1, ld.bfd 2.31.1):
nm before/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
36221
nm after/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l

ARM: Don't emit R_ARM_NONE relocations to compact unwinding decoders in .ARM.exidx on Android.

These relocations are specified by the ARM EHABI (section 6.3). As I understand
it, their purpose is to accommodate unwinder implementations that wish to
reduce code size by placing the implementations of the compact unwinding
decoders in a separate translation unit, and using extern weak symbols to
refer to them from the main unwinder implementation, so that they are only
linked when something in the binary needs them in order to unwind.

However, neither of the unwinders used on Android (libgcc, LLVM libunwind)
use this technique, and in fact emitting these relocations ends up being
counterproductive to code size because they cause a copy of the unwinder
to be statically linked into most binaries, regardless of whether it is
actually needed. Furthermore, these relocations create circular dependencies
(between libc and the unwinder) in cases where the unwinder is dynamically
linked and libc contains compact unwind info.

Therefore, deviate from the EHABI here and stop emitting these relocations
on Android.
