Backend changes to enable WLS/LE low-overhead loops for armv8.1-m:
1) Use TTI to communicate to the HardwareLoop pass that we should try
to generate intrinsics that guard the loop entry, as well as setting
the loop trip count.
2) Lower the BRCOND that uses said intrinsic to an Arm specific node:
ARMWLS.
3) ISelDAGToDAG the node to a new pseudo instruction:
t2WhileLoopStart.
4) Add support in ArmLowOverheadLoops to handle the new pseudo
instruction.

Introduce three pseudo instructions to be used during DAG ISel to
represent v8.1-m low-overhead loops. One maps to set_loop_iterations
while loop_decrement_reg is lowered to two, so that we can separate
the decrement and branching operations. The pseudo instructions are
expanded pre-emission, where we can still decide whether we actually
want to generate a low-overhead loop, in a new pass:
ARMLowOverheadLoops. The pass currently bails, reverting to an sub,
icmp and br, in the cases where a call or stack spill/restore happens
between the decrement and branching instructions, or if the loop is
too large.

The HardwareLoops pass finds exit blocks with a scevable exit count.
If the target specifies to update the loop counter in a register,
through a phi, we need to ensure that the exit block is a latch so
that we can insert the phi with the correct value for the incoming
edge.

TTI should report that it's not profitable to generate a hardware loop
if it, or one of its child loops, has already been converted.

Implement the backend target hook to drive the HardwareLoops pass.
The low-overhead branch extension for Arm M-class cores is flexible
enough that we don't have to ensure correctness at this point, except
checking that the loop counter variable can be stored in LR - a
32-bit register. For it to be profitable, we want to avoid loops that
contain function calls, or any other instruction that alters the PC.
This implementation uses TargetLoweringInfo, to query type and
operation actions, looks at intrinsic calls and also performs some
manual checks for remainder/division and FP operations.
I think this should be a good base to start and extra details can be
filled out later.
