tryLatency compares two sched candidates. For the top zone it prefers
the one with lesser depth, but only if that depth is greater than the
total latency of the instructions we've already scheduled -- otherwise
its latency would be hidden and there would be no stall.
Unfortunately it only tests the depth of one of the candidates. This can
lead to situations where the TopDepthReduce heuristic does not kick in,
but a lower priority heuristic chooses the other candidate, whose depth
*is* greater than the already scheduled latency, which causes a stall.
The fix is to apply the heuristic if the depth of *either* candidate is
greater than the already scheduled latency.
All this also applies to the BotHeightReduce heuristic in the bottom
zone.

This is the groundwork required to implement strictfp. For now, this
should be NFC for regular instructoins (many instructions just gain an
extra use of a reserved register). Regalloc won't rematerialize
instructions with reads of physical registers, but we were suffering
from that anyway with the exec reads.
Should add it for all the related FP uses (possibly with some
extras). I did not add it to either the gpr index mode instructions
(or every single VALU instruction) since it's a ridiculous feature
already modeled as an arbitrary side effect.
Also work towards marking instructions with FP exceptions. This
doesn't actually set the bit yet since this would start to change
codegen. It seems nofpexcept is currently not implied from the regular
IR FP operations. Add it to some MIR tests where I think it might
matter.
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.

I think this is correct, but may not necessarily be the correct fix
for the assertion I'm really trying to solve. If a scheduling region
was found that only has dbg_value instructions, the RegPressure
tracker would end up in an inconsistent state because it would skip
over any debug instructions and point to an instruction outside of the
scheduling region. It may still be possible for this to happen if
there are some real schedulable instructions between dbg_values, but I
haven't managed to break this.
The testcase is extremely sensitive and I'm not sure how to make it
more resistent to future scheduler changes that would avoid stressing
this situation.
