This adds infrastructure to print and parse MIR MachineOperand comments.
The motivation for the ARM backend is to print condition code names instead of
magic constants that are difficult to read (for human beings). For example,
instead of this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0, killed $cpsr
we now print this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14 /* CC::always */, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0 /* CC:eq */, killed $cpsr
This shows that MachineOperand comments are enclosed between /* and */. In this
example, the EOR instruction is not conditionally executed (i.e. it is "always
executed"), which is encoded by the 14 immediate machine operand. Thus, now
this machine operand has /* CC::always */ as a comment. The 0 on the next
conditional branch instruction represents the equal condition code, thus now
this operand has /* CC:eq */ as a comment.
As it is a comment, the MI lexer/parser completely ignores it. The benefit is
that this keeps the change in the lexer extremely minimal and no target
specific parsing needs to be done. The changes on the MIPrinter side are also
minimal, as there is only one target hooks that is used to create the machine
operand comments.

Those two subtarget features were awkward because their semantics are
reversed: each one indicates the _lack_ of support for something in
the architecture, rather than the presence. As a consequence, you
don't get the behavior you want if you combine two sets of feature
bits.
Each SubtargetFeature for an FP architecture version now comes in four
versions, one for each combination of those options. So you can still
say (for example) '+vfp2' in a feature string and it will mean what
it's always meant, but there's a new string '+vfp2d16sp' meaning the
version without those extra options.
A lot of this change is just mechanically replacing positive checks
for the old features with negative checks for the new ones. But one
more interesting change is that I've rearranged getFPUFeatures() so
that the main FPU feature is appended to the output list *before*
rather than after the features derived from the Restriction field, so
that -fp64 and -d32 can override defaults added by the main feature.

In preparation for adding support for named vregs we are changing the sigil for
physical registers in MIR to '$' from '%'. This will prevent name clashes of
named physical register with named vregs.
