On targets like Arm some relaxations may only be performed when certain
architectural features are available. As functions can be compiled with
differing levels of architectural support we must make a judgement on
whether we can relax based on the MCSubtargetInfo for the function. This
change passes through the MCSubtargetInfo for the function to
fixupNeedsRelaxation so that the decision on whether to relax can be made
per function. In this patch, only the ARM backend makes use of this
information. We must also pass the MCSubtargetInfo to applyFixup because
some fixups skip error checking on the assumption that relaxation has
occurred, to prevent code-generation errors applyFixup must see the same
MCSubtargetInfo as fixupNeedsRelaxation.

We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of

redundant. Since they are a visual distraction and we don't want to
encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.

We currently emit up to 15-byte NOPs on all targets (apart from Silvermont), which stalls performance on some targets with decoders that struggle with 2 or 3 more '66' prefixes.
This patch flags recent AMD targets (btver1/znver1) to still emit 15-byte NOPs and bdver* targets to emit 11-byte NOPs. All other targets now emit 10-byte NOPs apart from SilverMont CPUs which still emit 7-byte NOPS.

Currently it's not possible to access MCSubtargetInfo from a TgtMCAsmBackend.
D20830 threaded an MCSubtargetInfo reference through
MCAsmBackend::relaxInstruction, but this isn't the only function that would
benefit from access. This patch removes the Triple and CPUString arguments
from createMCAsmBackend and replaces them with MCSubtargetInfo.
This patch just changes the interface without making any intentional
functional changes. Once in, several cleanups are possible:
* Get rid of the awkward MCSubtargetInfo handling in ARMAsmBackend
* Support 16-bit instructions when valid in MipsAsmBackend::writeNopData
* Get rid of the CPU string parsing in X86AsmBackend and just use a SubtargetFeature for HasNopl
* Emit 16-bit nops in RISCVAsmBackend::writeNopData if the compressed instruction set extension is enabled (see D41221)
This change initially exposed PR35686, which has since been resolved in r321026.

processFixupValue is called on every relaxation iteration. applyFixup
is only called once at the very end. applyFixup is then the correct
place to do last minute changes and value checks.
While here, do proper range checks again for fixup_arm_thumb_bl. We
used to do it, but dropped because of thumb2. We now do it again, but

A number of backends (AArch64, MIPS, ARM) have been using
MCContext::reportError to report issues such as out-of-range fixup values in
their TgtAsmBackend. This is great, but because MCContext couldn't easily be
threaded through to the adjustFixupValue helper function from its usual
callsite (applyFixup), these backends ended up adding an MCContext* argument
and adding another call to applyFixup to processFixupValue. Adding an
MCContext parameter to applyFixup makes this unnecessary, and even better -
applyFixup can take a reference to MCContext rather than a potentially null
pointer.

We would assert that the FP setup CFI used esp/rsp always. This held up in
practice when the code was generated from IR. However, with the integrated
assembler, it is possible to have the input be user specified assembly. In such
a case, we cannot assume that the function implementation has a compact unwind
representation. Loosen the assertion into a check and bail if we cannot
represent the frame pointer in the compact unwinding.

Summary:
This is the first patch in the series to migrate Triple's (which are ambiguous)
to TargetTuple's (which aren't).
For the moment, TargetTuple simply passes all requests to the Triple object it
holds. Once it has replaced Triple, it will start to implement the interface in
a more suitable way.
This change makes some changes to the public C++ API. In particular,
InitMCSubtargetInfo(), createMCRelocationInfo(), and createMCSymbolizer()
now take TargetTuples instead of Triples. The other public C++ API's have
been left as-is for the moment to reduce patch size.
This commit also contains a trivial patch to clang to account for the C++ API
change. Thanks go to Pavel Labath for fixing LLDB for me.

Only consider an instruction a candidate for relaxation if the last operand of the
instruction is an expression. We previously checked whether any operand is an expression,
which is useless, since for all instructions concerned, the only operand that may be
affected by relaxation is the last one.
In addition, this removes the check for having RIP as an argument, since it was
plain wrong - even when one of the arguments is RIP, relaxation may still be needed.
This fixes PR9807.
