Since these are mostly used in "lsl #16", "lsl #32", "lsl #48" combinations to
piece together an immediate in 16-bit chunks, hex is probably the most
appropriate format.

If we know that a particular 64-bit constant has all high bits zero, then we
can rely on the fact that 32-bit ARM64 instructions automatically zero out the
high bits of an x-register. This gives the expansion logic less constraints to
satisfy and so sometimes allows it to pick better sequences.
Came up while porting test/CodeGen/AArch64/movw-consts.ll: this will allow a
32-bit MOVN to be used in @test8 soon.

This adds a second implementation of the AArch64 architecture to LLVM,
accessible in parallel via the "arm64" triple. The plan over the
coming weeks & months is to merge the two into a single backend,
during which time thorough code review should naturally occur.
Everything will be easier with the target in-tree though, hence this
commit.
