Simon Tatham 2b38f58930 [llvm-objdump,ARM] Add PrettyPrinters for Arm and AArch64.
Most Arm disassemblers, including GNU objdump and Arm's own `fromelf`,
emit an instruction's raw encoding as a 32-bit words or (for Thumb)
one or two 16-bit halfwords, in logical order rather than according to
their storage endianness. This is generally easier to read: it matches
the encoding diagrams in the architecture spec, it matches the value
you'd write in a `.inst` directive, and it means that fields within
the instruction encoding that span more than one byte (such as branch
offsets or `SVC` immediates) can be read directly in the encoding
without having to mentally reverse the bytes.

llvm-objdump already has a system of PrettyPrinter subclasses which
makes it easy for a target to drop in its own preferred formatting.
This patch adds pretty-printers for all the Arm targets, so that
llvm-objdump will display Arm instruction encodings in their preferred
layout instead of little-endian and bytewise.
