Add support for ARM modified-immediate assembly syntax.

Certain ARM instructions accept 32-bit immediate operands encoded as a 8-bit
integer value (0-255) and a 4-bit rotation (0-30, even). Current ARM assembly
syntax support in LLVM allows the decoded (32-bit) immediate to be specified
as a single immediate operand for such instructions:

mov r0, #4278190080

The ARMARM defines an extended assembly syntax allowing the encoding to be made
more explicit, as in:

mov r0, #255, #8 ; (same 32-bit value as above)

The behaviour of the two instructions can be different w.r.t flags, which is
documented under "Modified immediate constants" in ARMARM. This patch enables
support for this extended syntax at the MC layer.
