Hexagon instructions are VLIW "bundles" of up to four instruction words
encoded as a single MCInst with operands for each sub-instruction.
Previously, the disassembler's getInstruction() returned the full
bundle, which made it difficult to work with llvm-objdump.
For example, since all instructions are bundles, and bundles do not
branch, branch targets could not be printed.
This patch modifies the Hexagon disassembler to return individual
sub-instructions instead of entire bundles, enabling correct printing of
branch targets and relocations. It also introduces
`MCDisassembler::getInstructionBundle` for cases where the full bundle
is still needed.
By default, llvm-objdump separates instructions with newlines. However,
this does not work well for Hexagon syntax:
{ inst1
inst2
inst3
inst4 <branch> } :endloop0
Instructions may be followed by a closing brace, a closing brace with
`:endloop`, or a newline. Branches must appear within the braces.
To address this, `PrettyPrinter::getInstructionSeparator()` is added and
overridden for Hexagon.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
