[PATCH, AArch64] Allow symbol+offset as symbolic constant expression

[Ian Bolton]

Hi,

This patch reduces codesize for cases such as this one:

 int arr[100];
 int foo () { return arr[10]; }

Before the patch, the code looked like this:

 adrp x0, arr
 add x0, x0, :lo12:arr
 ldr w0, [x0,40]

Now, it looks like this:
 
 adrp x0, arr+40
 ldr w0, [x0,#:lo12:arr+40]

Some workloads have seen up to 1K reduction in code size.

OK to commit?

Cheers,
Ian
