[MachineOutliner] Add "thunk" outlining for AArch64.
When we're outlining a sequence that ends in a call, we can save up to
three instructions in the outlined function by turning the call into
a tail-call. I refer to this as thunk outlining because the resulting
outlined function looks like a thunk; suggestions welcome for a better
name.
In addition to making the outlined function shorter, thunk outlining
allows outlining calls which would otherwise be illegal to outline:
we don't need to save/restore LR, so we don't need to prove anything
about the stack access patterns of the callee.
To make this work effectively, I also added
MachineOutlinerInstrType::LegalTerminator to the generic MachineOutliner
code; this allows treating an arbitrary instruction as a terminator in
the suffix tree.
