The instruction-precise, or asynchronous, unwind tables usually take up
much more space than the synchronous ones. If a user is concerned about
the load size of the program and does not need the features provided
with the asynchronous tables, the compiler should be able to generate
the more compact variant.
This patch changes the generation of CFI instructions for these cases so
that they all come in one chunk in the prolog; it emits only one
`.cfi_def_cfa*` instruction followed by `.cfi_offset` ones after all
stack adjustments and register spills, and avoids generating CFI
instructions in the epilog(s) as well as any other exceeding CFI
instructions like `.cfi_remember_state` and `.cfi_restore_state`.
Effectively, it reverses the effects of D111411 and D114545 on functions
with the `uwtable(sync)` attribute. As a side effect, it also restores
the behavior on functions that have neither `uwtable` nor `nounwind`
attributes.

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 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.
