ARMv8 deprecates various forms of IT blocks.  This patch adds warnings
for these cases.

The IT block forms deprecated are:
 * Those with more than one instruction in the IT block
 * Those with a 32-bit instruction in the IT block
 * Various 16-bit instructions (mostly involving PC).

This patch does not change the handling of automatic IT block generation.
This is to be done in a later patch.
