Patch and test case to merge return into ldm for ARMv4 output

Recent ARMv4 support is missing the optimization to merge:

  ldmfd sp!, {..., lr}
  mov pc, lr

into

  ldmfd sp!, {..., pc}

In ARMv5 mode this was already happening.  Attached a small patch and test case
for ARMLoadStoreOpt::MergeReturnIntoLDM() doing this optimization for ARMv4.
