Q is the standard extension for Quad-precision floating point.
llvm/llvm-project#139369 is going to add assembly support for the Q extension.

binutils already has assembler support. Why does LLVM adding it require a new feature bit if binutils didn't?

The Q extension is a ratified standard extension and is assigned to the 17th bit. As it is getting supported by both projects I think it's a good time to add the bitmask.
