Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [MC][NFC] Allow MCInstrAnalysis to store state

Currently, all the analysis functions provided by `MCInstrAnalysis` work
on a single instruction. On some targets, this limits the kind of
instructions that can be successfully analyzed as common constructs may
need multiple instructions.

For example, a typical call sequence on RISC-V uses a auipc+jalr pair.
In order to analyse the jalr inside `evaluateBranch`, information about
the corresponding auipc is needed. Similarly, AArch64 uses adrp+ldr
pairs to access globals.

This patch proposes to add state to `MCInstrAnalysis` to support these
use cases. Two new virtual methods are added:
- `updateState`: takes an instruction and its address. This methods
  should be called by clients on every instruction and allows targets to
  store whatever information they need to analyse future instructions.
- `resetState`: clears the state whenever it becomes irrelevant. Clients
  could call this, for example, when starting to disassemble a new
  function.

Note that the default implementations do nothing so this patch is NFC.
No actual state is stored inside `MCInstrAnalysis`; deciding the
structure of the state is left to the targets.

This patch also modifies llvm-objdump to use the new interface.

This patch is an alternative to D116677 and the idea of storing state in
`MCInstrAnalysis` was first discussed there.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [RISCV][MC] Implement evaluateBranch for auipc+jalr pairs

This patch implements `MCInstrAnalysis` state in order to be able
analyze auipc+jalr pairs inside `evaluateBranch`.

This is implemented as follows:
- State: array of currently known GPR values;
- Whenever an auipc is detected in `updateState`, update the state value
  of RD with the immediate;
- Whenever a jalr is detected in `evaluateBranch`, check if the state
  holds a value for RS1 and use that to compute its target.

Note that this is similar to how binutils implements it and the output
of llvm-objdump should now mostly match the one of GNU objdump.

This patch also updates the relevant llvm-objdump patches and adds a new
one testing the output for interleaved auipc+jalr pairs.
