Alter the iOS/tvOS ARM64 C++ ABI to ignore the upper half of the
virtual table offset in a member function pointer. We are reserving this space for future ABI use relating to alternative v-table configurations. In the meantime, continue to zero-initialize this space when actually emitting a member pointer literal. This will successfully interoperate with existing compilers. Future versions of the compiler may place additional data in this location, and at that point, code emitted by compilers prior to this patch will fail if exposed to such a member pointer. This is therefore a somewhat hard ABI break. However, because it is limited to an uncommon case of an uncommon language feature, and especially because interoperation with the standard library does not depend on member pointers, we believe that with a sufficiently advance compiler change the impact of this break will be minimal in practice. llvm-svn: 281693
