[PATCH, AARCH64] improve long double 0.0 support


I noticed that poor code is emitted for a long double 0.0.  This testcase
long double sub (void) { return 0.0; }
void sub2 (long double *ld) { *ld = 0.0; }
currently generates
sub:
ldr q0, .LC0
ret
...
sub2:
ldr q0, .LC1
str q0, [x0]
ret
where LC0 and LC1 are 16-byte constant table long double zeros.  With
the attached patch, I get
sub:
movi v0.2d, #0
ret
...
sub2:
stp xzr, xzr, [x0]
ret

The main problem is in aarch64_valid_floating_const, which rejects all
constants for TFmode.  There is a comment that says we should handle
0, but not until after the movtf pattern is improved.  This
improvement apparently happened two years ago with this patch
2013-05-09  Sofiane Naci  <sofiane.naci@arm.com>
        * config/aarch64/aarch64.md: New movtf split.
        ...
so this comment is no longer relevant, and we should handle 0 now.
The patch deletes the out of date comment and moves the 0 check before
the TFmode check so that TFmode 0 is accepted.

There are a few other changes needed to make this work well.  The
movtf expander needs to avoid forcing 0 to a reg for a mem dest, just
like the movti pattern already does.  The Ump/?rY alternative needs to
be split into two, as %H doesn't work for const_double 0, again this
is like the movti pattern.  The condition needs to allow 0 values in
operand 1, as is done in the movti pattern.

I noticed another related problem while making this change.  The
ldp/stp instructions in the movtf_aarch64 pattern have neon attribute
types.  However, these are integer instructions with matching 'r'
constraints and hence should be using load2/store2 attribute types,
just like in the movti pattern.

This was tested with a default languages make bootstrap and make check
on an APM system.

There are some similar problems with the movsf and movdf patterns.  I
plan to submit a patch to fix them after this one is accepted.

	* config/aarch64/aarch64.c (aarch64_valid_floating_const): Move
	aarch64_float_const_zero_rtx_p check before TFmode check.
	* config/aarch64/aarch64.md (movtf): Don't call force_reg if op1 is
	an fp zero.
	(movtf_aarch64): Separate ?rY alternative into two.  Adjust assembly
	code and attributes to match.  Change condition from register_operand
	to aarch64_reg_or_fp_zero for op1.  Change type for ldp from
	neon_load1_2reg to load2.  Change type for stp from neon_store1_2reg
	to store2.
