This rewrites big parts of the fast register allocator. The basic
strategy of doing block-local allocation hasn't changed but I tweaked
several details:
Track register state on register units instead of physical
registers. This simplifies and speeds up handling of register aliases.
Process basic blocks in reverse order: Definitions are known to end
register livetimes when walking backwards (contrary when walking
forward then uses may or may not be a kill so we need heuristics).
Check register mask operands (calls) instead of conservatively
assuming everything is clobbered. Enhance heuristics to detect
killing uses: In case of a small number of defs/uses check if they are
all in the same basic block and if so the last one is a killing use.
Enhance heuristic for copy-coalescing through hinting: We check the
first k defs of a register for COPYs rather than relying on there just
being a single definition. When testing this on the full llvm
test-suite including SPEC externals I measured:
average 5.1% reduction in code size for X86, 4.9% reduction in code on
aarch64. (ranging between 0% and 20% depending on the test) 0.5%
faster compiletime (some analysis suggests the pass is slightly slower
than before, but we more than make up for it because later passes are
faster with the reduced instruction count)
Also adds a few testcases that were broken without this patch, in
particular bug 47278.
Patch mostly by Matthias Braun
This seems to have caused incorrect register allocation in some cases,
breaking tests in the Zig standard library (PR47278).
As discussed on the bug, revert back to green for now.

This reverts commit 66251f7e1d, and
follow-ups 931a68f26b
and 0671a4c508. It also adjust some
test expectations.
Record internal state based on register units. This is often more
efficient as there are typically fewer register units to update
compared to iterating over all the aliases of a register.
Original patch by Matthias Braun, but I've been rebasing and fixing it
for almost 2 years and fixed a few bugs causing intermediate failures
to make this patch independent of the changes in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D52010.
The 2nd loop calculates spill costs but reports free registers as cost
0 anyway, so there is little benefit from having a separate early
loop.
Surprisingly this is not NFC, as many register are marked regDisabled
so the first loop often picks up later registers unnecessarily instead
of the first one available in the allocation order...

llvm-svn: 356499
Tests updated to explicitly use fast-isel at -O0 instead of implicitly.
This change also allows an explicit -fast-isel option to override an
implicitly enabled global-isel. Otherwise -fast-isel would have no effect at -O0.

Summary:
- Fix assertion failures on F16 to/from int types in FastISel by falling
back to regular ISel
- Add a testcase of various conversion cases with FastISel (-O0)
