David Peixotto 0fa193b086 Implement the ldr-pseudo opcode for ARM assembly
The ldr-pseudo opcode is a convenience for loading 32-bit constants.
It is converted into a pc-relative load from a constant pool. For
example,

  ldr r0, =0x10001
  ldr r1, =bar

will generate this output in the final assembly

  ldr r0, .Ltmp0
  ldr r1, .Ltmp1
  ...
  .Ltmp0: .long 0x10001
  .Ltmp1: .long bar

Sketch of the LDR pseudo implementation:
  Keep a map from Section => ConstantPool

  When parsing ldr r0, =val
    parse val as an MCExpr
    get ConstantPool for current Section
    Label = CreateTempSymbol()
    remember val in ConstantPool at next free slot
    add operand to ldr that is MCSymbolRef of Label

  On finishParse() callback
    Write out all non-empty constant pools
    for each Entry in ConstantPool
      Emit Entry.Label
      Emit Entry.Value

Possible improvements to be added in a later patch:
  1. Does not convert load of small constants to mov
     (e.g. ldr r0, =0x1 => mov r0, 0x1)
  2. Does reuse constant pool entries for same constant

The implementation was tested for ARM, Thumb1, and Thumb2 targets on
linux and darwin.
