Split out LDR (literal) from normal ARM LDR instruction. Also consider spliting
LDR into imm12 and so_reg forms. This allows us to clean up some code. e.g.
ARMLoadStoreOptimizer does not need to look at LDR (literal) and LDR (so_reg)

Currently this is a ARM specific dag combine. We probably should make it into a

+Optimize unnecessary checks for zero with __builtin_clz/ctz. Those builtins
+are specified to be undefined at zero, so portable code must check for zero
+and handle it as a special case. That is unnecessary on ARM where those
+operations are implemented in a way that is well-defined for zero. For
+example:
+
+int f(int x) { return x ? __builtin_clz(x) : sizeof(int)*8; }
+
+should just be implemented with a CLZ instruction. Since there are other
+targets, e.g., PPC, that share this behavior, it would be best to implement
+this in a target-independent way: we should probably fold that (when using
+"undefined at zero" semantics) to set the "defined at zero" bit and have
+the code generator expand out the right code.
