Most Arm disassemblers, including GNU objdump and Arm's own `fromelf`,
emit an instruction's raw encoding as a 32-bit words or (for Thumb)
one or two 16-bit halfwords, in logical order rather than according to
their storage endianness. This is generally easier to read: it matches
the encoding diagrams in the architecture spec, it matches the value
you'd write in a `.inst` directive, and it means that fields within
the instruction encoding that span more than one byte (such as branch
offsets or `SVC` immediates) can be read directly in the encoding
without having to mentally reverse the bytes.
llvm-objdump already has a system of PrettyPrinter subclasses which
makes it easy for a target to drop in its own preferred formatting.
This patch adds pretty-printers for all the Arm targets, so that
llvm-objdump will display Arm instruction encodings in their preferred
layout instead of little-endian and bytewise.

This implements an LLVM tool that's flag- and output-compatible
with macOS's `otool` -- except for bugs, but from testing with both
`otool` and `xcrun otool-classic`, llvm-otool matches vanilla
otool's behavior very well already. It's not 100% perfect, but
it's a very solid start.
This uses the same approach as llvm-objcopy: llvm-objdump uses
a different OptTable when it's invoked as llvm-otool. This
is possible thanks to D100433.

Add support for constant MachO::CPU_SUBTYPE_ARM64_V8. This constant is
needed so as to match `llvm-libtool-darwin`'s behavior to that of
cctools' libtool when `-arch_only` flag is passed in on command line.
