This adds two new barrier instructions which can be used to restrict
speculative execution of load instructions.

Certain ARM instructions accept 32-bit immediate operands encoded as a 8-bit
integer value (0-255) and a 4-bit rotation (0-30, even). Current ARM assembly
syntax support in LLVM allows the decoded (32-bit) immediate to be specified
as a single immediate operand for such instructions:
mov r0, #4278190080
The ARMARM defines an extended assembly syntax allowing the encoding to be made
more explicit, as in:
mov r0, #255, #8 ; (same 32-bit value as above)
The behaviour of the two instructions can be different w.r.t flags, which is
documented under "Modified immediate constants" in ARMARM. This patch enables
support for this extended syntax at the MC layer.

Handle the case when the disassembler table can't tell
the difference between some encodings of QADD and CPS.
Add some necessary safe guards in CPS decoding as well.

These instructions aren't universally available, but depend on a specific
extension to the normal ARM architecture (rather than, say, v6/v7/...) so a new
feature is appropriate.
This also enables the feature by default on A-class cores which usually have
these extensions, to avoid breaking existing code and act as a sensible
default.
