[csl-arm] Thumb-2


The attached patch adds initial support for the ARM Thumb-2 instruction set.

Thumb-2 is an extension of the existing Thumb instruction set. It adds 32-bit 
encoding of most Arm instructions. All existing Thumb instructions are still 
valid, and no additional mode switching is necessary.  16-bit and 32-bit 
instructions can be mixed freely within the same code block.

The patch adds a third "mode" to the existing Arm and Thumb modes in the ARM 
backend. This is mainly based on the Arm mode, with a few notable 
differences:
- Memory addressing modes are slightly different.
- Immediate operands have different constraints.
- Conditional execution is implemented by inserting If-Then (IT) instructons 
that conditionally execute up to 4 subsequent instructions. I've hidden this 
detail from the majority of the code, and inserted IT instructions as needed 
during final assembly output.
- A new "uinified" assembly syntax is used. This is based on the existing arm 
syntax, and allows the same syntax to be used for both ARM and Thumb. The 
main difference is the location of conditional codes in conditionally execute 
instructions. We currently only use unified syntax for Thumb-2 code.
- ALU operations do not allow shift-by-register.

There are several improvements still to come, including:
- Coprocessor support.
- Fine tune use of reg_offset addressing modes.
- Better handling of immediate operands, including use of new halfword load 
immediate instructions.
- Tweak patterns and constraints to prefer 16-bit forms.
- Tablejumps are done the thumb way as access to the PC is limited.

As this is a mutation of the existing arm backend, not a new backend, I don't 
plan on submitting these changes to mainline until stage1 of gcc4.2.

Existing Arm and Thumb code generation should be unaffected.

Tested on arm-none-eabi.
Applied to csl-arm-branch.
