The "size_arguments" function and its properties can be systematically
derived from the "loc_arguments" function and its properties.
Before, the RISC-V port used this derivation, and all other ports
used hand-written "size_arguments" functions and proofs.
This commit moves the definition of "size_arguments" to the
platform-independent file backend/Conventions.v, using the systematic
derivation, and removes the platform-specific definitions.
This reduces code and proof size, and makes it easier to change the
calling conventions.

According to AAPCS64 (the AArch64 ABI specification), the
top bits of the register containing the function result have
unspecified value, so we need to sign- or zero-extend the function result
before using it, as in the x86 port.

Some ABIs leave more flexibility concerning function return values
than CompCert expects.
For example, the x86 ABI says that a function result of type "char" is
returned in register AL, leaving the top 24 bits of register EAX
unspecified, while CompCert expects EAX to contain 32 valid bits,
namely the zero- or sign-extension of the 8-bit result.
This commits adds a general mechanism to insert "re-normalization"
conversions on the results of function calls. Currently, it only
deals with results of small integer types, and inserts zero- or
sign-extensions if so instructed by a platform-dependent function,
Convention1.return_value_needs_normalization.
The conversions in question are inserted early in the front-end, so
that they can be optimized away in the back-end.
The semantic preservation proof is still conducted against the
CompCert model, where the return values of functions are already
normalized. What the proof shows is that the extra conversions have
no effect in this case. In future work we could relax the CompCert model,
allowing functions to return values that are not normalized.

Before it was "option typ". Now it is a proper inductive type
that can also express small integer types (8/16-bit unsigned/signed integers).
One benefit is that external functions get more precise types that
control better their return values. As a consequence,
the CompCert C type preservation property now holds unconditionally,
without extra typing hypotheses on external functions.

This commit adds a back-end for the AArch64 architecture, namely ARMv8
in 64-bit mode.
