r206963 - [ARM64] Change inline assembly constraints to be more lax, to match the behaviour of Clang/AArch64 and GCC.

I share Eric’s concern here. As I recall, the spec from ARM was very clear on this point, requiring a modifier to specify anything other than a 64-bit GPR. Matching the behavior of GCC is not a sufficient reason to change that unless the specification changed as well.
