This implements the review suggestion to simplify the AArch64 backend. If we
later discover that we *really* need the extra complexity of the
ConstantIslands pass for performance reasons it can be resurrected.

If vector types have legal register classes, then LLVM bypasses LegalizeTypes
on them, which causes faults currently since the code to handle them isn't in
place.
This fixes test failures when AArch64 is the default target.

Weakly defined symbols should evaluate to 0 if they're undefined at
link-time. This is impossible to do with the usual address generation
patterns, so we should use a literal pool entry to materlialise the
address.

This moves the bit twiddling and string fiddling functions required by other
parts of the backend into a separate library. Previously they resided in
AArch64Desc, which created a circular dependency between various components.

This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
unless requested explicitly.
This initial commit should have support for:
+ Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
(except the late addition CRC instructions).
+ CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
+ Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
4GB.
+ Absolute and position-independent code.
+ GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
+ Debugging information.
The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.
This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
the changes to precisely what has been approved.
Further reviews would be gratefully received.
