[ARM] Add support for target("arm") and target("thumb").

Summary

This patch adds support for the target("arm") and target("thumb")
attributes, which can be used to force the compiler to generated ARM or
Thumb code for a function.

In LLVM, ARM or Thumb code generation can be controlled by the
thumb-mode target feature. But GCC already uses target("arm") and
target("thumb"), so we have to substitute "arm" with -thumb-mode and
"thumb" with thumb-mode.

Would this be a more accurate comment:

"...arm and thumb to thumb-mode" => "arm and thumb to arm-mode or thumb-mode, respectively"
Or
"[-| ] thumb-mode"

reworded comment and improved test case to ensure only a single thumb-mode attribute is added.

This is a little painful here - I wonder if we have access to TargetInfo or maybe translate it in the target specific area of the front end? I worry about this sort of thing getting unwieldy.

Thoughts?

Otherwise OK.

Agreed, ARMTargetInfo is a much better place to do the conversion! Moved attribute conversion to ARMTargetInfo::initFeatureMap. Unfortunately FeaturesVec is const, so creating a mutable clone seemed the most straight-forward thing to do.

Won't work below in handleTargetFeatures?

Unfortunately I don't think so, as it seems like handleTargetFeatures is only called once in TargetInfo::CreateTargetInfo (https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/lib/Basic/Targets.cpp#L9679
), while initFeatureMap is called for each function and thus can be used to modify the user provided target-features for individual functions (
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenModule.cpp#L4426)

This can be "else if".
