Support -fclang-abi-compat=8.0 to keep old ABI behavior

Summary

The System V i386 bug fix (https://reviews.llvm.org/D59744) makes it impossible
for 32-bit Linux Chromium to write an assembly function that works with both
trunk clang and clang 8.0.0, which makes it difficult to update compilers
independent of changing the code (more details:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=974542#c5).

This patch aims to provide a solution for such situation.

Could you please add a test to ensure that Darwin defaults to the old behaviour?

Referencing the SVN revision is better IMO as the infrastructure can change, but, the reference to the commit is useful as that can be mapped.

Yes, there is a test to ensure that Darwin defaults to the old behaviour in "test/CodeGen/x86_32-m64.c".

Use ABI80 instead of OLDABI?

Please refer to the svn revision instead of the code review.

We still don't understand the Chromium problem so we should probably wait until that's done, and then the commit message should be more general. (For Chromium, we will not want to lock to an old ABI version but rather do whatever fixing is required.)

This patch aims to provide a solution for such situation.

Instead of "historically", please spell out exactly what versions, i.e. versions prior to Clang 9.

Just refer to the major version: `-fclang-abi-compat=8`

Isn't the comment backwards? Setting Ver8 causes __m64 *not* to be passed in an MMX register?

What about Clang 8.0.1? :-) Probably better to say "Clang 8 and previous versions did not do this."

Please pass -fclang-abi-compat=8 instead to match how the flag is used otherwhere.
