match clang's `va_arg` assembly on arm targets

tracking issue: rust-lang#44930

For this example

```rust
#![feature(c_variadic)]

#[unsafe(no_mangle)]
unsafe extern "C" fn variadic(a: f64, mut args: ...) -> f64 {
    let b = args.arg::<f64>();
    let c = args.arg::<f64>();

    a + b + c
}
```

We currently generate (via llvm):

```asm
variadic:
    sub     sp, sp, #12
    stmib   sp, {r2, r3}
    vmov    d0, r0, r1
    add     r0, sp, #4
    vldr    d1, [sp, #4]
    add     r0, r0, #15
    bic     r0, r0, #7
    vadd.f64        d0, d0, d1
    add     r1, r0, #8
    str     r1, [sp]
    vldr    d1, [r0]
    vadd.f64        d0, d0, d1
    vmov    r0, r1, d0
    add     sp, sp, #12
    bx      lr
```

LLVM is not doing a good job. In fact, it's well-known that LLVM's implementation of `va_arg` is kind of bad, and we implement it ourselves (based on clang) for many targets already. For arm,  our own `emit_ptr_va_arg` saves 3 instructions.

Next, it turns out it's important for LLVM to explicitly start and end the lifetime of the `va_list`. In rust-lang#146059 I already end the lifetime, but when looking at this again, I noticed that it is important to also start it, see https://godbolt.org/z/EGqvKTTsK: failing to explicitly start the lifetime uses an extra register.

So, the combination of `emit_ptr_va_arg` with starting/ending the lifetime makes rustc emit exactly the instructions that clang generates::

```asm
variadic:
    sub     sp, sp, #12
    stmib   sp, {r2, r3}
    vmov    d16, r0, r1
    vldr    d17, [sp, #4]
    vadd.f64        d16, d16, d17
    vldr    d17, [sp, #12]
    vadd.f64        d16, d16, d17
    vmov    r0, r1, d16
    add     sp, sp, #12
    bx      lr
```

The arguments to `emit_ptr_va_arg` are based on [the clang implementation](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/03dc2a41f3d9a500e47b513de5c5008c06860d65/clang/lib/CodeGen/Targets/ARM.cpp#L798-L844).
