Summary:
DAGCombine will normally turn a `(shl (add x, c1), c2)` into `(add (shl x, c2), c1 << c2)`, where `c1` and `c2` are constants. This can be prevented by a callback in TargetLowering.
On RISC-V, materialising the constant `c1 << c2` can be more expensive than materialising `c1`, because materialising the former may take more instructions, and may use a register, where materialising the latter would not.
This patch implements the hook in RISCVTargetLowering to prevent this transform, in the cases where:
- `c1` fits into the immediate field in an `addi` instruction.
- `c1` takes fewer instructions to materialise than `c1 << c2`.
In future, DAGCombine could do the check to see whether `c1` fits into an add immediate, which might simplify more targets hooks than just RISC-V.

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.

Logic to load 32-bit and 64-bit immediates is currently present in
RISCVAsmParser::emitLoadImm in order to support the li pseudoinstruction. With
the introduction of RV64 codegen, there is a greater benefit of sharing
immediate materialisation logic between the MC layer and codegen. The
generateInstSeq helper allows this by producing a vector of simple structs
representing the chosen instructions. This can then be consumed in the MC
layer to produce MCInsts or at instruction selection time to produce
appropriate SelectionDAG node. Sharing this logic means that both the li
pseudoinstruction and codegen can benefit from future optimisations, and
that this logic can be used for materialising constants during RV64 codegen.
This patch does contain a behaviour change: addi will now be produced on RV64
when no lui is necessary to materialise the constant. In that case addiw takes
x0 as the source register, so is semantically identical to addi.
