In ARM mode, passing -mtp=cp15 forces the use of an inline MRC system register read to move the thread pointer value into a register.
Currently, in Thumb2 mode, -mtp=cp15 is ignored, and a call to the __aeabi_read_tp helper is emitted instead.
This is inconsistent, and breaks the Linux/ARM build for Thumb2 targets, as the Linux kernel does not provide an implementation of __aeabi_read_tp,.

Replace the use of grep with FileCheck. Tidy up some of the tests. A
few of the tests have been left as weak as previously, though some have
been made more stringent.

Both AArch64 and ARM support llvm.<arch>.thread.pointer intrinsics that
just return the thread pointer. I have a pending patch that does the same
for SystemZ (D19054), and there are many more targets that could benefit
from one.
This patch merges the ARM and AArch64 intrinsics into a single target
independent one that will also be used by subsequent targets.

This was done through the aid of a terrible Perl creation. I will not
paste any of the horrors here. Suffice to say, it require multiple
staged rounds of replacements, state carried between, and a few
nested-construct-parsing hacks that I'm not proud of. It happens, by
luck, to be able to deal with all the TCL-quoting patterns in evidence
in the LLVM test suite.
If anyone is maintaining large out-of-tree test trees, feel free to poke
me and I'll send you the steps I used to convert things, as well as
answer any painful questions etc. IRC works best for this type of thing
I find.
Once converted, switch the LLVM lit config to use ShTests the same as
Clang. In addition to being able to delete large amounts of Python code
from 'lit', this will also simplify the entire test suite and some of
lit's architecture.
Finally, the test suite runs 33% faster on Linux now. ;]
