The compiler was generating symbols in the final code object for local
branch target labels. This bloats the code object, slows down the loader,
and is only used to simplify disassembly.
Use '--symbolize-operands' with llvm-objdump to improve readability of the
branch target operands in disassembly.

The current implementation of skip insertion (SIInsertSkip) makes it a
mandatory pass required for correctness. Initially, the idea was to
have an optional pass. This patch inserts the s_cbranch_execz upfront
during SILowerControlFlow to skip over the sections of code when no
lanes are active. Later, SIRemoveShortExecBranches removes the skips
for short branches, unless there is a sideeffect and the skip branch is
really necessary.
This new pass will replace the handling of skip insertion in the
existing SIInsertSkip Pass.

Unfortunately the way SIInsertSkips works is backwards, and is
required for correctness. r338235 added handling of some special cases
where skipping is mandatory to avoid side effects if no lanes are
active. It conservatively handled asm correctly, but the same logic
needs to apply to calls.
Usually the call sequence code is larger than the skip threshold,
although the way the count is computed is really broken, so I'm not
sure if anything was likely to really hit this.
