Sergei Barannikov af20c1c129 [MC] Add three-state parseDirective as a replacement for ParseDirective
Conventionally, parsing methods return false on success and true on
error. However, directive parsing methods need a third state: the
directive is not target specific. AsmParser::parseStatement detected
this case by using a fragile heuristic: if the target parser did not
consume any tokens, the directive is assumed to be not target-specific.

Some targets fail to follow the convention: they return success after
emitting an error or do not consume the entire line and return failure
on successful parsing. This was partially worked around by checking for
pending errors in parseStatement.

This patch tries to improve the situation by introducing parseDirective
method that returns ParseStatus -- three-state class. The new method
should eventually replace the old one returning bool.

ParseStatus is intentionally implicitly constructible from bool to allow
uses like `return Error(Loc, "message")`. It also has a potential to
replace OperandMatchResulTy as it is more convenient to use due to the
implicit construction from bool and more type safe.

To-do
-----

* Keep the address of the constant pool in a register instead of forming its
  address all of the time.
* We can fold small constant offsets into the %hi/%lo references to constant
  pool addresses as well.
* When in V9 mode, register allocate %icc[0-3].
* Add support for isel'ing UMUL_LOHI instead of marking it as Expand.
* Emit the 'Branch on Integer Register with Prediction' instructions.  It's
  not clear how to write a pattern for this though:

float %t1(int %a, int* %p) {
        %C = seteq int %a, 0
        br bool %C, label %T, label %F
T:
        store int 123, int* %p
        br label %F
F:
        ret float undef
}

codegens to this:

t1:
        save -96, %o6, %o6
1)      subcc %i0, 0, %l0
1)      bne .LBBt1_2    ! F
        nop
.LBBt1_1:       ! T
        or %g0, 123, %l0
        st %l0, [%i1]
.LBBt1_2:       ! F
        restore %g0, %g0, %g0
        retl
        nop

1) should be replaced with a brz in V9 mode.

* Same as above, but emit conditional move on register zero (p192) in V9
  mode.  Testcase:

int %t1(int %a, int %b) {
        %C = seteq int %a, 0
        %D = select bool %C, int %a, int %b
        ret int %D
}

* Emit MULX/[SU]DIVX instructions in V9 mode instead of fiddling
  with the Y register, if they are faster.

* Codegen bswap(load)/store(bswap) -> load/store ASI

* Implement frame pointer elimination, e.g. eliminate save/restore for
  leaf fns.
* Fill delay slots

* Use %g0 directly to materialize 0. No instruction is required.
