For the purpose of verifying proper arguments extensions per the target's ABI, introduce the NoExt attribute that may be used by a target when neither sign- or zeroextension is required (e.g. with a struct in register). The purpose of doing so is to be able to verify that there is always one of these attributes present and by this detecting cases where sign/zero extension is actually missing. As a first step, this patch has the verification step done for the SystemZ backend only, but left off by default until all known issues have been addressed. Other targets/front-ends can now also add NoExt attribute where needed and do this check in the backend.
