This still does not work on 32-bit archs because of an LLVM limitation,
but this is only an optimization, so let's push it on 64-bit only for now.
Fixes#37945
This PR is an implementation of [RFC 1974] which specifies a new method of
defining a global allocator for a program. This obsoletes the old
`#![allocator]` attribute and also removes support for it.
[RFC 1974]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/197
The new `#[global_allocator]` attribute solves many issues encountered with the
`#![allocator]` attribute such as composition and restrictions on the crate
graph itself. The compiler now has much more control over the ABI of the
allocator and how it's implemented, allowing much more freedom in terms of how
this feature is implemented.

So ARM had quite a few codegen bugs on LLVM 4.0 which are fixed on LLVM
trunk. This backports 5 of them:
r297871 - ARM: avoid clobbering register in v6 jump-table expansion.
- fixesrust-lang/rust#42248
r294949 - [Thumb-1] TBB generation: spot redefinitions of index
r295816 - [ARM] Fix constant islands pass.
r300870 - [Thumb-1] Fix corner cases for compressed jump tables
r302650 - [IfConversion] Add missing check in
