Greedy register allocator prefers to move a constrained
live range into a larger allocatable class over spilling
them. This patch defines the necessary superclasses for
vector registers. For subtargets that support copy between
VGPRs and AGPRs, the vector register spills during regalloc
now become just copies.

We may use several COPY instructions to copy the needed sub-registers
during split. But the way we split the lanes during the COPYs may be
different from the subranges of the old register. This would fail when we
extend the subranges of the new register because the LaneMasks do not
match exactly between subranges of new register and old register.
Since we are bundling the COPYs, I think there is no need to further refine the
subranges of the new register based on the set of LaneMasks of the inserted COPYs.
I am not sure if there will be further breaking cases. But as the subranges of
new register are created based on the LaneMasks of the subranges of old register,
it will be highly possible we will always find an exact LaneMask match.
We can think about how to make the extendPHIKillRanges() work for
subrange mask mismatch case if we meet more such cases in the future.
The test case was from D105065 by @arsenm.
