Summary

This is a follow-up for r273544.

The end goal is to get rid of the isSwift / isCortexXY / isWhatever methods.

This commit also removes two command-line flags that weren't used in any of the
tests: widen-vmovs and swift-partial-update-clearance. The former may be easily
replaced with the mattr mechanism, but the latter may not (as it is a subtarget
property, and not a proper feature). If anyone needs to control that from the
command line, please speak now (and help me add a test).

I personally prefer "widenVMOVS" than "dontWidenVMOVS", but otherwise, LGTM. Thanks!

Indeed, but widening seems to be the default across targets, so it would be unpleasant to add it everywhere (including for every new target). If we want to keep it on a positive tone, we could name it "KeepVMOVS" or "PreferVMOVS" (we already have a "PreferVMOVSR", I'm not sure if that makes things better or worse).

Good point. LGTM as it is.
