rustc: Don't generate code for unreachable expressions

The way we deal with unreachable expressions in trans is pretty ad hoc,
but this at least doesn't make it worse, and eliminates the LLVM
assertion failure reported in #5741.

fix arm stack alignment
fix issue #6209
auto merge of #6667 : crabtw/rust/arm-rt, r=brson

This fixes segmentation fault of new rt tests.
For example
```
use core::rt::test::*;
use core::rt::comm::*;
use core::cell::Cell;

fn main() {
    do run_in_newsched_task {
        let (port, chan) = oneshot::<~int>();
        let port_cell = Cell(port);
        do spawntask_immediately {
            assert!(port_cell.take().recv() == ~10);
        }
        chan.send(~10);
    }
}
```
