We mark X0 as preserved by a call that passes the returned parameter.
x0 = ...
fun(x0) // no implicit def of x0
This no longer is valid if we pass the parameter in a different register then
the returned value as is the case with a swiftself parameter (passed in x20).
x20 = ...
fun(x20) // there should be an implict def of x8

It is very likely that the swiftself parameter is alive throughout most
functions function so putting it into a callee save register should
avoid spills for the callers with only a minimum amount of extra spills
in the callees.
Currently the generated code is correct but unnecessarily spills and
reloads arguments passed in callee save registers, I will address this
in upcoming patches.
This also adds a missing check that for tail calls the preserved value
of the caller must be the same as the callees parameter.
