Cortex-A9 instruction-level scheduling machine model.

This models the A9 processor at the level of instruction operands, as
opposed to the itinerary, which models each operation at the level of
pipeline stages.

The two primary motivations are:

1) Allow MachineScheduler to model A9 as an out-of-order processor. It
can now distinguish between hazards that force interlocking vs.
buffered resources.

2) Reduce long-term maintenance by allowing the itinerary and target
hooks to eventually be removed. Note that almost all of the complexity
in the new model exists to model instruction variants, which the
itinerary cannot handle. Instead the scheduler previously relied on
processor-specific target hooks which are incomplete and buggy.
