Following discussions in #110443, and the following earlier discussions
in https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-October/117907.html,
https://reviews.llvm.org/D38482, https://reviews.llvm.org/D38489, this
PR attempts to overhaul the `TargetMachine` and `LLVMTargetMachine`
interface classes. More specifically:
1. Makes `TargetMachine` the only class implemented under
`TargetMachine.h` in the `Target` library.
2. `TargetMachine` contains target-specific interface functions that
relate to IR/CodeGen/MC constructs, whereas before (at least on paper)
it was supposed to have only IR/MC constructs. Any Target that doesn't
want to use the independent code generator simply does not implement
them, and returns either `false` or `nullptr`.
3. Renames `LLVMTargetMachine` to `CodeGenCommonTMImpl`. This renaming
aims to make the purpose of `LLVMTargetMachine` clearer. Its interface
was moved under the CodeGen library, to further emphasis its usage in
Targets that use CodeGen directly.
4. Makes `TargetMachine` the only interface used across LLVM and its
projects. With these changes, `CodeGenCommonTMImpl` is simply a set of
shared function implementations of `TargetMachine`, and CodeGen users
don't need to static cast to `LLVMTargetMachine` every time they need a
CodeGen-specific feature of the `TargetMachine`.
5. More importantly, does not change any requirements regarding library
linking.

Previously, `CCState::AllocateStack` always allocated stack space by increasing
offsets. For targets with stack growing up (away from zero) it is more
convenient to allocate arguments by decreasing offsets, so that the first
argument is at the top of the stack. This is important when calling a function
with variable number of arguments: the callee does not know the size of the
stack, but must be able to access "fixed" arguments. For that to work, the
"fixed" arguments should have fixed offsets relative to the stack top, i.e. the
variadic arguments area should be at the stack bottom (at lowest addresses).
The in-tree target with stack growing up is AMDGPU, but it allocates
arguments by increasing addresses. It does not support variadic arguments.
A drive-by change is to promote stack size/offset to 64-bit integer.
This is what MachineFrameInfo expects.
