This adds code to revert low overhead loops with calls in them before
register allocation. Ideally we would not create low overhead loops with
calls in them to begin with, but that can be difficult to always get
correct. If we want to try and glue together t2LoopDec and t2LoopEnd
into a single instruction, we need to ensure that no instructions use LR
in the loop. (Technically the final code can be better too, as it
doesn't need to use the same registers but that has not been optimized
for here, as reverting loops with calls is expected to be very rare).
It also adds a MVETailPredUtils.h header to share the revert code
between different passes, and provides a place to expand upon, with
RevertLoopWithCall becoming a place to perform other low overhead loop
alterations like removing copies or combining LoopDec and End into a
single instruction.

This changes the definition of t2DoLoopStart from
t2DoLoopStart rGPR
to
GPRlr = t2DoLoopStart rGPR
This will hopefully mean that low overhead loops are more tied together,
and we can more reliably generate loops without reverting or being at
the whims of the register allocator.
This is a fairly simple change in itself, but leads to a number of other
required alterations.
- The hardware loop pass, if UsePhi is set, now generates loops of the
form:
%start = llvm.start.loop.iterations(%N)
loop:
%p = phi [%start], [%dec]
%dec = llvm.loop.decrement.reg(%p, 1)
%c = icmp ne %dec, 0
br %c, loop, exit
- For this a new llvm.start.loop.iterations intrinsic was added, identical
to llvm.set.loop.iterations but produces a value as seen above, gluing
the loop together more through def-use chains.
- This new instrinsic conceptually produces the same output as input,
which is taught to SCEV so that the checks in MVETailPredication are not
affected.
- Some minor changes are needed to the ARMLowOverheadLoop pass, but it has
been left mostly as before. We should now more reliably be able to tell
that the t2DoLoopStart is correct without having to prove it, but
t2WhileLoopStart and tail-predicated loops will remain the same.
- And all the tests have been updated. There are a lot of them!
This patch on it's own might cause more trouble that it helps, with more
tail-predicated loops being reverted, but some additional patches can
hopefully improve upon that to get to something that is better overall.

This adds infrastructure to print and parse MIR MachineOperand comments.
The motivation for the ARM backend is to print condition code names instead of
magic constants that are difficult to read (for human beings). For example,
instead of this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0, killed $cpsr
we now print this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14 /* CC::always */, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0 /* CC:eq */, killed $cpsr
This shows that MachineOperand comments are enclosed between /* and */. In this
example, the EOR instruction is not conditionally executed (i.e. it is "always
executed"), which is encoded by the 14 immediate machine operand. Thus, now
this machine operand has /* CC::always */ as a comment. The 0 on the next
conditional branch instruction represents the equal condition code, thus now
this operand has /* CC:eq */ as a comment.
As it is a comment, the MI lexer/parser completely ignores it. The benefit is
that this keeps the change in the lexer extremely minimal and no target
specific parsing needs to be done. The changes on the MIPrinter side are also
minimal, as there is only one target hooks that is used to create the machine
operand comments.

Recommitting e93e0d413f after reverting due to test failures, which
will hopefully now be fixed. Original commit message:
After expanding the pseudo instructions, update the liveness info.
We do this in a post-order traversal of the loop, including its
exit blocks and preheader(s).

1) Fix an issue with the incorrect value being used for the number of
elements being passed to [d|w]lstp. We were trying to check that
the value was available at LoopStart, but this doesn't consider
that the last instruction in the block could also define the
register. Two helpers have been added to RDA for this.
2) Insert some code to now try to move the element count def or the
insertion point so that we can perform more tail predication.
3) Related to (1), the same off-by-one could prevent us from
generating a low-overhead loop when a mov lr could have been
the last instruction in the block.
4) Fix up some instruction attributes so that not all the
low-overhead loop instructions are labelled as branches and
terminators - as this is not true for dls/dlstp.

Add several new methods to ReachingDefAnalysis:
- getReachingMIDef, instead of returning an integer, return the
MachineInstr that produces the def.
- getInstFromId, return a MachineInstr for which the given integer
corresponds to.
- hasSameReachingDef, return whether two MachineInstr use the same
def of a register.
- isRegUsedAfter, return whether a register is used after a given
MachineInstr.
These methods have been used in ARMLowOverhead to replace searching
for uses/defs.
