There are cases of AVX-512 instructions that have two possible encodings. This is the case with instructions that use vector registers with low indexes of 0 - 15 and do not use the zmm registers or the mask k registers.
The EVEX encoding prefix requires 4 bytes whereas the VEX prefix can take only up to 3 bytes. Consequently, using the VEX encoding for these instructions results in a code size reduction of ~2 bytes even though it is compiled with the AVX-512 features enabled.

We did not support subregs in InlineSpiller:foldMemoryOperand() because targets
may not deal with them correctly.
This adds a target hook to let the spiller know that a target can handle
subregs, and actually enables it for x86 for the case of stack slot reloads.
This fixes PR30832.

If AVX512 is disabled, the registers should already be marked reserved. Pattern predicates and register classes on instructions should take care of most of the rest. Loads/stores and physical register copies for XMM16-31 and YMM16-31 without VLX have already been taken care of.
I'm a little unclear why this changed the register allocation of the SSE2 run of the sad.ll test, but the registers selected appear to be valid after this change.

Over eager combing prevents the correct folding of writemasks.
At the moment this occurs for ALL EVEX shuffles, in the future we need to check that the user of the root shuffle is a VSELECT that can fold to a writemask.

An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).
