Adds arm64 v8.2 FCCMP, FCCMPE, FCMEQ, FCMGE and FCMGT instructions

Note to reviewers: this patch may look a bit big at first glance but there's a lot of boilerplate test code and fairly straightforward IR construction additions.

Patch has been tested with --memcheck:leak-check=yes --tool=memcheck --track-origins=yes

Compare-with-zero variants of these instructions are implemented by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438630

Looks mostly fine.  Comments below.  
r+ provided the SIGILL-vs-assert thing is fixed.


In dis_AdvSIMD_fp_conditional_compare

+   else if (ty == 3) {
+      if ((archinfo->hwcaps & VEX_HWCAPS_ARM64_FP16) == 0)
+         return False;
+      ity  = Ity_F16;
+      irop = Iop_CmpF16;
+   }
+   else
+      vassert(0); /* ty = 2 => illegal encoding */

No .. ensure SIGILL is raised (decode failure) for any undecodable insns.
Never assert.


+   setFlags_COPY(nzcv_28x0);
+   DIP("fccmp%s %s, %s, #%u, %s\n", isCMPE ? "e" : "",
+       nameQRegLO(nn, ity), nameQRegLO(mm, ity), nzcv, nameCC(cond));
+   return True;
 
    return False;

This is a strange sequence.  The second return is unreachable.  (Maybe I
misread?)


+      if (e->Iex.Binop.op == Iop_CmpF64 || e->Iex.Binop.op == Iop_CmpF32 ||
+          e->Iex.Binop.op == Iop_CmpF16) {
+         HReg (*iselExpr)(ISelEnv*, IRExpr*);
+         ARM64Instr* (*VCmp)(HReg, HReg);

As a nit, in such situations I'd prefer if you set these both to NULL so as to
protect against future snafus .. I know it's redundant as the code stands.
Viz:

         HReg (*iselExpr)(ISelEnv*, IRExpr*) = NULL;
         ARM64Instr* (*VCmp)(HReg, HReg) = NULL;

Good point, I've changed it to:
+ else {
+    /* ty = 2 is an illegal encoding */
+    if (sigill_diag) {
+       vex_printf("ARM64 front end: dis_AdvSIMD_fp_conditional_compare\n");
+    }
+    return False;
+ }

My bad. The second return is a leftover from some debug testing which I should have deleted.

Good point! initialised.
Bugs caused by uninitialised data can be insidious. The code is fine now but possible future changes in the subsequent if clauses could allow such bugs to appear.
