Prefer to keep uniform (non-divergent) multiplies on the scalar ALU when
possible. This significantly improves some game cases by eliminating
v_readfirstlane instructions when the result feeds into a scalar
operation, like the address calculation for a scalar load or store.
Since isDivergent is only an approximation of whether a value is in
SGPRs, it can potentially regress some situations where a uniform value
ends up in a VGPR. These should be rare in real code, although the test
changes do contain a number of examples.
Most of the test changes are just using s_mul instead of v_mul/mad which
is generally better for both register pressure and latency (at least on
GFX10 where sgpr pressure doesn't affect occupancy and vector ALU
instructions have significantly longer latency than scalar ALU). Some
R600 tests now use MULLO_INT instead of MUL_UINT24.
GlobalISel appears to handle more scenarios in the desirable way,
although it can also be thrown off and fails to select the 24-bit
multiplies in some cases.
Alternative solution considered and rejected was to allow selecting
MUL_[UI]24 to S_MUL_I32. I've rejected this because the definition of
those SD operations works is don't-care on the most significant 8 bits,
and this fact is used in some combines via SimplifyDemandedBits.
Based on a patch by Nicolai Hähnle.

An encoding does not allow to use SDWA in an instruction with
scalar operands, either literals or SGPRs. That is however possible
to copy these operands into a VGPR first.
Several copies of the value are produced if multiple SDWA conversions
were done. To cleanup MachineLICM (to hoist copies out of loops),
MachineCSE (to remove duplicate copies) and SIFoldOperands (to replace
SGPR to VGPR copy with immediate copy right to the VGPR) runs are added
after the SDWA pass.

Currently the default C calling convention functions are treated
the same as compute kernels. Make this explicit so the default
calling convention can be changed to a non-kernel.
Converted with perl -pi -e 's/define void/define amdgpu_kernel void/'
on the relevant test directories (and undoing in one place that actually
wanted a non-kernel).

Un XFAIL a few tests plus a few more I had lying around
in my tree, which seem to all work now but I don't see tests
that quite test the same things.
