Introduce a new RISCVExpandPseudoInsts pass to expand atomic
pseudo-instructions after register allocation. This is necessary in order to
ensure that register spills aren't introduced between LL and SC, thus breaking
the forward progress guarantee for the operation. AArch64 does something
similar for CmpXchg (though only at O0), and Mips is moving towards this
approach (see D31287). See also [this mailing list
post](http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-May/099490.html) from
James Knight, which summarises the issues with lowering to ll/sc in IR or
pre-RA.
See the [accompanying RFC
thread](http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-June/123993.html) for an
overview of the lowering strategy.

This patch adds lowering for atomic fences and relies on AtomicExpandPass to
lower atomic loads/stores, atomic rmw, and cmpxchg to __atomic_* libcalls.
test/CodeGen/RISCV/atomic-* are modelled on the exhaustive
test/CodeGen/PPC/atomics-regression.ll, and will prove more useful once RV32A
codegen support is introduced.
Fence mappings are taken from table A.6 in the current draft of version 2.3 of
the RISC-V Instruction Set Manual, which incorporates the memory model changes
and definitions contributed by the RISC-V Memory Consistency Model task group.
