In a mach_header, the cpusubtype is a 32-bit field, but it's split in 2
subfields:
- the low 24 bits containing the cpu subtype proper, (e.g.,
CPU_SUBTYPE_ARM64E 2)
- the high 8 bits containing a capability field used for additional
feature flags.
Notably, it's only the subtype subfield that participates in fat file
slice discrimination: the caps are ignored.
arm64e uses the caps subfield to encode a ptrauth ABI version:
- 0x80 (CPU_SUBTYPE_PTRAUTH_ABI) denotes a versioned binary
- 0x40 denotes a kernel-ABI binary
- 0x00-0x0F holds the ptrauth ABI version
This teaches the basic obj tools to decode that (or ignore it when
unneeded).
It also teaches the MachO writer to default to emitting versioned
binaries, but with a version of 0 (and without the kernel ABI flag).
Modern arm64e requires versioned binaries: a binary with 0x00 caps in
cpusubtype is now rejected by the linker and everything after. We can
live without the sophistication of specifying the version and kernel ABI
for now.

This also teaches MachO writers/readers about the MachO cpu subtype,
beyond the minimal subtype reader support present at the moment.
This also defines a preprocessor macro to allow users to distinguish
__arm64__ from __arm64e__.
arm64e defaults to an "apple-a12" CPU, which supports v8.3a, allowing
pointer-authentication codegen.
It also currently defaults to ios14 and macos11.

This moves all the logic of converting LLVM Triples to
MachO::CPU_(SUB_)TYPE from the specific target (Target)AsmBackend to
more convenient functions in lib/BinaryFormat.
This also gets rid of the separate two X86AsmBackend classes.
The previous attempt was to add it to libObject, but that adds an
unnecessary dependency to libObject from all the targets.
