[ARM] Fix PR85434: spilling of stack protector guard's address on ARM

In case of high register pressure in PIC mode, address of the stack
protector's guard can be spilled on ARM targets as shown in PR85434,
thus allowing an attacker to control what the canary would be compared
against. This is also known as CVE-2018-12886. ARM does lack
stack_protect_set and stack_protect_test insn patterns, defining them
does not help as the address is expanded regularly and the patterns
only deal with the copy and test of the guard with the canary.

This problem does not occur for x86 targets because the PIC access and
the test can be done in the same instruction. Aarch64 is exempt too
because PIC access insn pattern are mov of UNSPEC which prevents it from
the second access in the epilogue being CSEd in cse_local pass with the
first access in the prologue.

The approach followed here is to create new "combined" set and test
standard pattern names that take the unexpanded guard and do the set or
test. This allows the target to use an opaque pattern (eg. using UNSPEC)
to hide the individual instructions being generated to the compiler and
split the pattern into generic load, compare and branch instruction
after register allocator, therefore avoiding any spilling. This is here
implemented for the ARM targets. For targets not implementing these new
standard pattern names, the existing stack_protect_set and
stack_protect_test pattern names are used.

To be able to split PIC access after register allocation, the functions
had to be augmented to force a new PIC register load and to control
which register it loads into. This is because sharing the PIC register
between prologue and epilogue could lead to spilling due to CSE again
which an attacker could use to control what the canary gets compared
against.
