- Do not try to infer GV alignment unless its type is sized. It's not possible to infer alignment if it has opaque type.

1. Makes it possible to lower with floating point loads and stores.
2. Avoid unaligned loads / stores unless it's fast.
3. Fix some memcpy lowering logic bug related to when to optimize a
load from constant string into a constant.
4. Adjust x86 memcpy lowering threshold to make it more sane.
5. Fix x86 target hook so it uses vector and floating point memory
ops more effectively.

This is not just a matter of passing in the target triple from the module;
currently backends are making decisions based on the build and host
architecture. The goal is to migrate to making these decisions based off of the
triple (in conjunction with the feature string). Thus most clients pass in the
target triple, or the host triple if that is empty.
This has one important change in the way behavior of the JIT and llc.
For the JIT, it was previously selecting the Target based on the host
(naturally), but it was setting the target machine features based on the triple
from the module. Now it is setting the target machine features based on the
triple of the host.
For LLC, -march was previously only used to select the target, the target
machine features were initialized from the module's triple (which may have been
empty). Now the target triple is taken from the module, or the host's triple is
used if that is empty. Then the triple is adjusted to match -march.
The take away is that -march for llc is now used in conjunction with the host
triple to initialize the subtarget. If users want more deterministic behavior
from llc, they should use -mtriple, or set the triple in the input module.

1. x86-64 byval alignment should be max of 8 and alignment of type. Previously the code was not doing what the commit message was saying.
2. Do not use byte repeat move and store operations. These are slow.
