1a47d66496 Change the ARM assembler to require a :lower16: or :upper16 on non-constant
expressions for mov instructions instead of silently truncating by default.

For the ARM assembler, we want to avoid misleadingly allowing something
like "mov r0, <symbol>" especially when we turn it into a movw and the
expression <symbol> does not have a :lower16: or :upper16" as part of the
expression.  We don't want the behavior of silently truncating, which can be
unexpected and lead to bugs that are difficult to find since this is an easy
mistake to make.

This does change the previous behavior of llvm but actually matches an
older gnu assembler that would not allow this but print less useful errors
of like “invalid constant (0x927c0) after fixup” and “unsupported relocation on
symbol foo”.  The error for llvm is "immediate expression for mov requires
:lower16: or :upper16" with correct location information on the operand
as shown in the added test cases.

cb914a32d6 ARM IAS: properly handle expression operands
Operands which involved label arithemetic would previously fail to parse.  This
corrects that by adding the additional case for the shift operand validation.
