This adds t2WhileLoopStartTP, similar to the t2DoLoopStartTP added in
D90591. It keeps a reference to both the tripcount register and the
element count register, so that the ARMLowOverheadLoops pass in the
backend can pick the correct one without having to search for it from
the operand of a VCTP.

It simplifies the logic by moving the predecessor (preHeader or it's predecessor) above the target (or loopExit),
instead of moving the target to after the predecessor.
Since the loopExit is no longer being moved, directions of any branches within/to it are unaffected.
While the predecessor is being moved, the backwards movement simplifies some considerations,
and the only consideration now required is that a forward WLS to the predecessor should not become backwards.

The ARMConstantIsland pass will convert any t2B to tB if they are within
range after it has added or moved any constant pools. They don't need to
be deliberately converted beforehand, and it doesn't deal with needing
to convert tB to t2B very well.
The patch makes two updates to the arm-block-placement pass:
- Handle arbitrarily nested loops
- Extends the search (for t2WhileLoopStartLR) to the predecessor of the
preHeader.

Recently we improved the lowering of low overhead loops and tail
predicated loops, but concentrated first on the DLS do style loops. This
extends those improvements over to the WLS while loops, improving the
chance of lowering them successfully. To do this the lowering has to
change a little as the instructions are terminators that produce a value
- something that needs to be treated carefully.
Lowering starts at the Hardware Loop pass, inserting a new
llvm.test.start.loop.iterations that produces both an i1 to control the
loop entry and an i32 similar to the llvm.start.loop.iterations
intrinsic added for do loops. This feeds into the loop phi, properly
gluing the values together:
%wls = call { i32, i1 } @llvm.test.start.loop.iterations.i32(i32 %div)
%wls0 = extractvalue { i32, i1 } %wls, 0
%wls1 = extractvalue { i32, i1 } %wls, 1
br i1 %wls1, label %loop.ph, label %loop.exit
...
loop:
%lsr.iv = phi i32 [ %wls0, %loop.ph ], [ %iv.next, %loop ]
..
%iv.next = call i32 @llvm.loop.decrement.reg.i32(i32 %lsr.iv, i32 1)
%cmp = icmp ne i32 %iv.next, 0
br i1 %cmp, label %loop, label %loop.exit
The llvm.test.start.loop.iterations need to be lowered through ISel
lowering as a pair of WLS and WLSSETUP nodes, which each get converted
to t2WhileLoopSetup and t2WhileLoopStart Pseudos. This helps prevent
t2WhileLoopStart from being a terminator that produces a value,
something difficult to control at that stage in the pipeline. Instead
the t2WhileLoopSetup produces the value of LR (essentially acting as a
lr = subs rn, 0), t2WhileLoopStart consumes that lr value (the Bcc).
These are then converted into a single t2WhileLoopStartLR at the same
point as t2DoLoopStartTP and t2LoopEndDec. Otherwise we revert the loop
to prevent them from progressing further in the pipeline. The
t2WhileLoopStartLR is a single instruction that takes a GPR and produces
LR, similar to the WLS instruction.
%1:gprlr = t2WhileLoopStartLR %0:rgpr, %bb.3
t2B %bb.1
...
bb.2.loop:
%2:gprlr = PHI %1:gprlr, %bb.1, %3:gprlr, %bb.2
...
%3:gprlr = t2LoopEndDec %2:gprlr, %bb.2
t2B %bb.3
The t2WhileLoopStartLR can then be treated similar to the other low
overhead loop pseudos, eventually being lowered to a WLS providing the
branches are within range.

Not all machine loops will have a predecessor. so the pass needs to
check it before continuing.

Blocks can be laid out such that a t2WhileLoopStart branches backwards. This is forbidden by the architecture and so it fails to be converted into a low-overhead loop. This new pass checks for these cases and moves the target block, fixing any fall-through that would then be broken.
