Akira Hatanaka 987f1864ca [AArch64, inline-asm] Improve diagnostic that is printed when the size of a ...

variable that has regiser constraint "r" is not 64-bit.

General register operands are output using 64-bit "x" register names, regardless
of the size of the variable, unless the asm operand is prefixed with the "%w"
modifier. This surprises and confuses many users who aren't familiar with
aarch64 inline assembly rules.

With this commit, a note and fixit hint are printed which tell the users that
they need modifier "%w" in order to output a "w" register instead of an "x"
register.
