For RISC-V it is desirable to have relaxation happen in the linker once
addresses are known, and as such the size between two instructions/byte
sequences in a section could change.
For most assembler expressions, this is fine, as the absolute address results
in the expression being converted to a fixup, and finally relocations.
However, for expressions such as .quad .L2-.L1, the assembler folds this down
to a constant once fragments are laid out, under the assumption that the
difference can no longer change, although in the case of linker relaxation the
differences can change at link time, so the constant is incorrect. One place
where this commonly appears is in debug information, where the size of a
function expression is in a form similar to the above.
This patch extends the assembler to allow an AsmBackend to declare that it
does not want the assembler to fold down this expression, and instead generate
a pair of relocations that allow the linker to carry out the calculation. In
this case, the expression is not folded, but when it comes to emitting a
fixup, the generic FK_Data_* fixups are converted into a pair, one for the
addition half, one for the subtraction, and this is passed to the relocation
generating methods as usual. I have named these FK_Data_Add_* and
FK_Data_Sub_* to indicate which half these are for.
For RISC-V, which supports this via e.g. the R_RISCV_ADD64, R_RISCV_SUB64 pair
of relocations, these are also set to always emit relocations relative to
local symbols rather than section offsets. This is to deal with the fact that
if relocations were calculated on e.g. .text+8 and .text+4, the result 12
would be stored rather than 4 as both addends are added in the linker.

To do this:
1. Add PseudoCALLIndirct to match indirect function call.
2. Add PseudoCALL to support parsing and print pseudo `call` in assembly
3. Expand PseudoCALL to the following form with R_RISCV_CALL relocation type
while encoding:
auipc ra, func
jalr ra, ra, 0
If we expand PseudoCALL before emitting assembly, we will see auipc and jalr
pair when compile with -S. It's hard for assembly parser to parsing this
pair and identify it's semantic is function call and then insert R_RISCV_CALL
relocation type. Although we could insert R_RISCV_PCREL_HI20 and
R_RISCV_PCREL_LO12_I relocation types instead of R_RISCV_CALL.
Due to RISCV relocation design, auipc and jalr pair only can relax to jal with
R_RISCV_CALL + R_RISCV_RELAX relocation types.
We expand PseudoCALL as late as encoding(RISCVMCCodeEmitter) instead of before
emitting assembly(RISCVAsmPrinter) because we want to preserve call
pseudoinstruction in assembly code. It's more readable and assembly parser
could identify call assembly and insert R_RISCV_CALL relocation type.

Summary:
This patch implements a tablegen-driven Instruction Compression
mechanism for generating RISCV compressed instructions
(C Extension) from the expanded instruction form.
This tablegen backend processes CompressPat declarations in a
td file and generates all the compile-time and runtime checks
required to validate the declarations, validate the input
operands and generate correct instructions.
The checks include validating register operands, immediate
operands, fixed register operands and fixed immediate operands.
Example:
class CompressPat<dag input, dag output> {
dag Input = input;
dag Output = output;
list<Predicate> Predicates = [];
}
let Predicates = [HasStdExtC] in {
def : CompressPat<(ADD GPRNoX0:$rs1, GPRNoX0:$rs1, GPRNoX0:$rs2),
(C_ADD GPRNoX0:$rs1, GPRNoX0:$rs2)>;
}
The result is an auto-generated header file
'RISCVGenCompressEmitter.inc' which exports two functions for
compressing/uncompressing MCInst instructions, plus
some helper functions:
bool compressInst(MCInst& OutInst, const MCInst &MI,
const MCSubtargetInfo &STI,
MCContext &Context);
bool uncompressInst(MCInst& OutInst, const MCInst &MI,
const MCRegisterInfo &MRI,
const MCSubtargetInfo &STI);
The clients that include this auto-generated header file and
invoke these functions can compress an instruction before emitting
it, in the target-specific ASM or ELF streamer, or can uncompress
an instruction before printing it, when the expanded instruction
format aliases is favored.
The following clients were added to implement compression\uncompression
for RISCV:
1) RISCVAsmParser::MatchAndEmitInstruction:
Inserted a call to compressInst() to compresses instructions
parsed by llvm-mc coming from an ASM input.
2) RISCVAsmPrinter::EmitInstruction:
Inserted a call to compressInst() to compress instructions that
were lowered from Machine Instructions (MachineInstr).
3) RVInstPrinter::printInst:
Inserted a call to uncompressInst() to print the expanded
version of the instruction instead of the compressed one (e.g,
add s0, s0, a5 instead of c.add s0, a5) when -riscv-no-aliases
is not passed.

%lo(), %hi(), and %pcrel_hi() are supported and test cases have been added to
ensure the appropriate fixups and relocations are generated. I've added an
instruction format field which is used in RISCVMCCodeEmitter to, for
instance, tell whether it should emit a lo12_i fixup or a lo12_s fixup
(RISC-V has two 12-bit immediate encodings depending on the instruction
type).
