[TCWG-1236] Android on LLD
Android team have switched to LLD by default for most modules. Looking
to switch over the course of a release.
I've been looking at the list of modules that don't work with LLD and
investigating.
- Sent some patches upstream to add some missing features needed by
Android such as --keep-unique

[Other]
Reviewed some patches for LLD and MC
Sent a patch upstream for support of the "S" constraint in AArch64
inline assembly.

- RTH's FP16 bugfixing patchset
- Alex's float-to-float conversion patchset

prototype that needs a few loose ends tidied up
