Add a legalize_signature method to TargetIsa.

This entry point will be used for controlling ABI conventions when
legalizing.

Provide an empty implementation for RISC-V and let the other ISAs crash
in legalization.

This is just the scaffolding. We still need to:

- Rewrite the entry block arguments to match the legalized signature.
- Rewrite call and return instructions.
- Implement the legalize_signature() function for all ISAs.
- Add shared generic types to help with the legalize_signature()
  functions.

/// Legalize a function signature.

/// This is used to legalize both the signature of the function being compiled and any called
/// functions. The signature should be modified by adding `ArgumentLoc` annotations to all
/// arguments and return values.
///
/// Arguments with types that are not supported by the ABI can be expanded into multiple
/// arguments:
///
/// - Integer types that are too large to fit in a register can be broken into multiple
/// arguments of a smaller integer type.
/// - Floating point types can be bit-cast to an integer type of the same size, and possible
/// broken into smaller integer types.
/// - Vector types can be bit-cast and broken down into smaller vectors or scalars.
///
/// The legalizer will adapt argument and return values as necessary at all ABI boundaries.
