Sanjoy Das b396b9e375 [CodeGen] Introduce a FAULTING_LOAD_OP pseudo-op.
Summary:
This instruction encodes a loading operation that may fault, and a label
to branch to if the load page-faults.  The locations of potentially
faulting loads and their "handler" destinations are recorded in a
FaultMap section, meant to be consumed by LLVM's clients.

Nothing generates FAULTING_LOAD_OP instructions yet, but they will be
used in a future change.

The documentation (FaultMaps.rst) needs improvement and I will update
this diff with a more expanded version shortly.

Depends on D10196
