Verify generated AArch32 assembler traces against `llvm-mc`.

This script will find all files in `test/aarch32/traces/` with names starting
will `assembler`, and check them against `llvm-mc`. It checks our assembler is
correct by looking up what instruction we meant to assemble, assemble it with
`llvm` and check the result is bit identical to what our assembler generated.

You may run the script with no arguments from VIXL's top-level directory as long
as `llvm-mc` is in your PATH. You may provide a different `llvm-mc` path with
the `--llvm-mc` option. This script relies on version 3.8 or higher of
LLVM. Previous versions refuse to assemble some instructions that ARMv8 allows,
but ARMv7 did not.

For example, let's say we have the following assembler trace for CLZ
(the real trace is a lot bigger):

~~~
static const byte kInstruction_Clz_eq_r0_r0[] = {
  0x10, 0x0f, 0x6f, 0x01 // Clz eq r0 r0
};
static const byte kInstruction_Clz_eq_r0_r1[] = {
  0x11, 0x0f, 0x6f, 0x01 // Clz eq r0 r1
};
static const byte kInstruction_Clz_eq_r0_r2[] = {
  0x12, 0x0f, 0x6f, 0x01 // Clz eq r0 r2
};
static const TestResult kReferenceClz[] = {
  {
    ARRAY_SIZE(kInstruction_Clz_eq_r0_r0),
    kInstruction_Clz_eq_r0_r0,
  },
  {
    ARRAY_SIZE(kInstruction_Clz_eq_r0_r1),
    kInstruction_Clz_eq_r0_r1,
  },
  {
    ARRAY_SIZE(kInstruction_Clz_eq_r0_r2),
    kInstruction_Clz_eq_r0_r2,
  },
};
~~~

The traces contain both the list of bytes that were encoded as well as a comment
with a description of the instruction this is. This script searches for these
lines and checks them.

With our example, the script will find the following:

    [
      ("Clz eq r0 r0", ["0x10", "0x0f", "0x6f", "0x01"]),
      ("Clz eq r0 r1", ["0x11", "0x0f", "0x6f", "0x01"]),
      ("Clz eq r0 r2", ["0x12", "0x0f", "0x6f", "0x01"])
    ]

Then the tricky part is to convert the description of the instruction into the
following valid assembly syntax:

    clzeq r0, r0
    clzeq r0, r1
    clzeq r0, r2

Our example is easy, but it gets more complicated with load and store
instructions for example. We can feed this as input to `llvm-mc`:

    $ echo "
      clzeq r0, r0
      clzeq r0, r1
      clzeq r0, r2
    " | llvm-mc -assemble -arch=arm -mattr=v8,crc -show-encoding

And we will get the following output:

            .text
            clzeq   r0, r0                  @ encoding: [0x10,0x0f,0x6f,0x01]
            clzeq   r0, r1                  @ encoding: [0x11,0x0f,0x6f,0x01]
            clzeq   r0, r2                  @ encoding: [0x12,0x0f,0x6f,0x01]

The script will finally extract the encoding and compare it to what VIXL
generated.
