If the localizer pass puts one of its constants before the label that tells the
unwinder "jump here to handle your exception" then control-flow will skip it,
leaving uninitialized registers at runtime. That's bad.

There is no guarantee that the first use of a constant that is traversed
is actually the first in the related basic block. Thus, if we use that
as the insertion point we may end up with definitions that don't
dominate there use.

This reverts commit r299287 plus clean-ups.
The localizer pass is a helper pass that could be run at O0 in the GISel
pipeline to work around the deficiency of the fast register allocator.
It basically shortens the live-ranges of the constants so that the
allocator does not spill all over the place.
Long term fix would be to make the greedy allocator fast.
