Using a BufferSize of one for memory ProcResources will result in better
ILP since it more accurately models the dependencies between memory ops
and their consumers on an in-order processor. After this change, the
scheduler will treat the data edges from loads as blocking so that
stalls are guaranteed when waiting for data to be retreaved from memory.
Since we don't actually track waitcnt here, this should do a better job
at modeling their behavior.
Practically, this means that the scheduler will trigger the 'STALL'
heuristic more often.
This type of change needs to be evaluated experimentally. Preliminary
results are positive.

Change waitcnt insertion to check the memory operand tokens to see if
flat memory operations access VMEM in the same way it does to check if
accessing LDS. This avoids adding waitcnt for counters for address
spaces that are not accessed.
In addition, only generate the pessimistic waitcnt 0 if a flat memory
operation appears to access both VMEM and LDS.
This benefits flat memory operations that explicitly specify the
address space as GLOBAL or LOCAL.

Summary:
pickNodeBidirectional tried to compare the best top candidate and the
best bottom candidate by examining TopCand.Reason and BotCand.Reason.
This is unsound because, after calling pickNodeFromQueue, Cand.Reason
does not reflect the most important reason why Cand was chosen. Rather
it reflects the most recent reason why it beat some other potential
candidate, which could have been for some low priority tie breaker
reason.
I have seen this cause problems where TopCand is a good candidate, but
because TopCand.Reason is ORDER (which is very low priority) it is
repeatedly ignored in favour of a mediocre BotCand. This is not how
bidirectional scheduling is supposed to work.
To fix this I changed the code to always compare TopCand and BotCand
directly, like the generic implementation of pickNodeBidirectional does.
This removes some uncommented AMDGPU-specific logic; if this logic turns
out to be important then perhaps it could be moved into an override of
tryCandidate instead.
Graphics shader benchmarking on gfx10 shows a lot more positive than
negative effects from this change.

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).
