Re-commit of 32e8b550e5439c7e4aafa73894faffd5f25d0d05
This patch rearranges emission of CFI instructions, so the resulting
DWARF and `.eh_frame` information is precise at every instruction.
The current state is that the unwind info is emitted only after the
function prologue. This is fine for synchronous (e.g. C++) exceptions,
but the information is generally incorrect when the program counter is
at an instruction in the prologue or the epilogue, for example:
```
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! // 16-byte Folded Spill
mov x29, sp
.cfi_def_cfa w29, 16
...
```
after the `stp` is executed the (initial) rule for the CFA still says
the CFA is in the `sp`, even though it's already offset by 16 bytes
A correct unwind info could look like:
```
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! // 16-byte Folded Spill
.cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
mov x29, sp
.cfi_def_cfa w29, 16
...
```
Having this information precise up to an instruction is useful for
sampling profilers that would like to get a stack backtrace. The end
goal (towards this patch is just a step) is to have fully working
`-fasynchronous-unwind-tables`.

It caused builds to assert with:
(StackSize == 0 && "We already have the CFA offset!"),
function generateCompactUnwindEncoding, file AArch64AsmBackend.cpp, line 624.
when targeting iOS. See comment on the code review for reproducer.

When a stack offset was too big to materialize in a single instruction, we were
trying to do it in stages:
adds xD, sp, #imm
adds xD, xD, #imm
Unfortunately, if xD is xzr then the second instruction doesn't exist and
wouldn't do what was needed if it did. Instead we can use a temporary register
for all but the last addition.
