PowerPC has its custom scheduler heuristic. It calls parent classes'
tryCandidate in override version, but the function returns void, so this
way doesn't actually help. This patch duplicates code from base scheduler
into PPC machine scheduler class, which does what we wanted.

Current approach doesn't work well in cases when multiple paths are predicted to be "cold". By "cold" paths I mean those containing "unreachable" instruction, call marked with 'cold' attribute and 'unwind' handler of 'invoke' instruction. The issue is that heuristics are applied one by one until the first match and essentially ignores relative hotness/coldness
of other paths.
New approach unifies processing of "cold" paths by assigning predefined absolute weight to each block estimated to be "cold". Then we propagate these weights up/down IR similarly to existing approach. And finally set up edge probabilities based on estimated block weights.
One important difference is how we propagate weight up. Existing approach propagates the same weight to all blocks that are post-dominated by a block with some "known" weight. This is useless at least because it always gives 50\50 distribution which is assumed by default anyway. Worse, it causes the algorithm to skip further heuristics and can miss setting more accurate probability. New algorithm propagates the weight up only to the blocks that dominates and post-dominated by a block with some "known" weight. In other words, those blocks that are either always executed or not executed together.
In addition new approach processes loops in an uniform way as well. Essentially loop exit edges are estimated as "cold" paths relative to back edges and should be considered uniformly with other coldness/hotness markers.

tryLatency compares two sched candidates. For the top zone it prefers
the one with lesser depth, but only if that depth is greater than the
total latency of the instructions we've already scheduled -- otherwise
its latency would be hidden and there would be no stall.
Unfortunately it only tests the depth of one of the candidates. This can
lead to situations where the TopDepthReduce heuristic does not kick in,
but a lower priority heuristic chooses the other candidate, whose depth
*is* greater than the already scheduled latency, which causes a stall.
The fix is to apply the heuristic if the depth of *either* candidate is
greater than the already scheduled latency.
All this also applies to the BotHeightReduce heuristic in the bottom
zone.

The instruction addi is usually used to post increase the loop indvar, which looks like this:
label_X:
load x, base(i)
...
y = op x
...
i = addi i, 1
goto label_X
However, for PowerPC, if there are too many vsx instructions that between y = op x and i = addi i, 1,
it will use all the hw resource that block the execution of i = addi, i, 1, which result in the stall
of the load instruction in next iteration. So, a heuristic is added to move the addi as early as possible
to have the load hide the latency of vsx instructions, if other heuristic didn't apply to avoid the starve.

Summary:
When doing the conversion: MachineInst -> MCInst, we should ignore the
implicit operands, it will expose more opportunity for InstiAlias.

CFI information are non-relevant to quite some testcases,
we should get rid of checking them when its unecessary.
This patch avoid generating cfi info in testcases that are not
testing prolog/epilog or exception handling.

Summary:
This is exposed by adding a new testcase in PowerPC in
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL367732
The testcase got different output on different platform, hence breaking
buildbots.
The problem is that we get differnt FuncUnitOrder when calculateResMII.
The root cause is:
1. Two MachineInstr might get SAME priority(MFUsx) from minFuncUnits.
2. Current comparison operator() will return `MFUs1 > MFUs2`.
3. We use iterators for MachineInstr, so the input to FuncUnitSorter
might be different on differnt platform due to the iterator nature.
So for two MI with same MFU, their order is actually depends on the
iterator order, which is platform (implemtation) dependent.
This is risky, and may cause cross-compiling problems.
The fix is to check make sure we assign a determine order when they are
equal.
