Before this change, the SystemZ backend would use BRCL for all branches
and only consider shortening them to BRC when generating an object file.
E.g. a branch on equal would use the JGE alias of BRCL in assembly output,
but might be shortened to the JE alias of BRC in ELF output. This was
a useful first step, but it had two problems:
(1) The z assembler isn't traditionally supposed to perform branch shortening
or branch relaxation. We followed this rule by not relaxing branches
in assembler input, but that meant that generating assembly code and
then assembling it would not produce the same result as going directly
to object code; the former would give long branches everywhere, whereas
the latter would use short branches where possible.
(2) Other useful branches, like COMPARE AND BRANCH, do not have long forms.
We would need to do something else before supporting them.
(Although COMPARE AND BRANCH does not change the condition codes,
the plan is to model COMPARE AND BRANCH as a CC-clobbering instruction
during codegen, so that we can safely lower it to a separate compare
and long branch where necessary. This is not a valid transformation
for the assembler proper to make.)
This patch therefore moves branch relaxation to a pre-emit pass.
For now, calls are still shortened from BRASL to BRAS by the assembler,
although this too is not really the traditional behaviour.
The first test takes about 1.5s to run, and there are likely to be
more tests in this vein once further branch types are added. The feeling
on IRC was that 1.5s is a bit much for a single test, so I've restricted
it to SystemZ hosts for now.
The patch exposes (and fixes) some typos in the main CodeGen/SystemZ tests.
A later patch will remove the {{g}}s from that directory.

This adds all CodeGen tests for the SystemZ target.
This version of the patch incorporates feedback from a review by
Sean Silva. Thanks to all reviewers!

Note that this actually changes code generation, and someone who
understands this target better should check the changes.
- R12Q is now allocatable. I think it was omitted from the allocation
order by mistake since it isn't reserved. It as apparently used as a
GOT pointer sometimes, and it should probably be reserved if that is
the case.
- The GR64 registers are allocated in a different order now. The
register allocator will automatically put the CSRs last. There were
other changes to the order that may have been significant.
The test fix is because r0 and r1 swapped places in the allocation order.

replace the check with the appropriate predicate. Modify the testcase to reflect
the correct code. (It should be saving callee-saved registers on the stack
allocated by the calling fuction.)

(OP (trunc x), (trunc y)) -> (trunc (OP x, y))
Unfortunately this simple change causes dag combine to infinite looping. The problem is the shrink demanded ops optimization tend to canonicalize expressions in the opposite manner. That is badness. This patch disable those optimizations in dag combine but instead it is done as a late pass in sdisel.
This also exposes some deficiencies in dag combine and x86 setcc / brcond lowering. Teach them to look pass ISD::TRUNCATE in various places.
