- Fix for #13904 -- stop "trashing" callee-saved registers, since it is
  not actually doing anything useful.

- Fix for #14251 -- fixes the calling convention for functions passing
  raw SSE-register values by adding padding as needed to get the values
  in the right registers. This problem cropped up when some args were
  unused an dropped from the live list.

- Fixed a typo in 'readnone' attribute

- Added 'lower-expect' pass to level 0 LLVM optimization passes to
  improve block layout in LLVM for stack checks, etc.

Test Plan: `make test WAYS=optllvm` and `make test WAYS=llvm`

GHC Trac Issues: #13904, #14251

To resolve ticket #11295, I think it makes sense to stop hard-coding
the pass sequences used by GHC when compiling with LLVM into the
compiler
itself.

This patchset introduces a companion to the existing `llvm-targets` file
called `llvm-passes`. The passes file is a simple association list that
holds the default LLVM `opt` pass sequence used by GHC. This allows end
users to easily save their favorite optimization flags when compiling
with LLVM.

The main benefit for ticket #11295 is that when adding a custom pass
sequence, it tends to be an extremely long string that would be
unsightly in the code.

This is essentially part 1 of 2 for ticket #11295.
