Code in CGCall.cpp that loads up function arguments that need to be
coerced to a different type may in some cases ignore the fact that
the source of the argument is not naturally aligned. This may cause
incorrect code to be generated. In some places in CreateCoercedLoad,
we already have setAlignment calls to address this, but I ran into one
where it was missing, causing wrong code generation on SystemZ.
However, in that location, we do not actually know what alignment of
the source location we can rely on; the callers do not pass anything
to this routine. This is already an issue in other places in
CreateCoercedLoad; and the same problem exists for CreateCoercedStore.
To avoid pessimising code, and to fix the FIXMEs already in place,
this patch also adds an alignment argument to the CreateCoerced*
routines and uses it instead of forcing an alignment of 1. The
callers are changed to pass in the best information they have.
This actually requires changes in a number of existing test cases
since we now get better alignment in many places.

For 64-bit PowerPC SVR4, an aggregate containing only one
floating-point field (float, double, or long double) must be passed in
a register as though just that field were present. This patch
addresses the issue during Clang code generation by specifying in the
ABIArgInfo for the argument that the underlying type is passed
directly in a register. The included test case verifies flat and
nested structs for the three data types.
