Flag 'AllowZeroMoveEliminationOnly' should have been a property of the PRF, and
not set at register granularity.
This change also restricts move elimination to writes that update a full
physical register. We assume that there is a strong correlation between
logical registers that allow move elimination, and how those same registers are
allocated to physical registers by the register renamer.
This is still a no functional change, because this experimental code path is
disabled for now. This is done in preparation for another patch that will add
the ability to describe how move elimination works in scheduling models.

This should help with catching inconsistent definitions of instructions with
zero opcodes, which also declare to consume scheduler/pipeline resources.

This patch teaches class RegisterFile how to analyze register writes from
instructions that are move elimination candidates.
In particular, it teaches it how to check if a move can be effectively eliminated
by the underlying PRF, and (if necessary) how to perform move elimination.
The long term goal is to allow processor models to describe instructions that
are valid move elimination candidates.
The idea is to let register file definitions in tablegen declare if/when moves
can be eliminated.
This patch is a non functional change.
The logic that performs move elimination is currently disabled. A future patch
will add support for move elimination in the processor models, and enable this
new code path.

This change is in preparation for a future work on improving support for
optimizable register moves. We already know if a write is from a zero-idiom, so
we can propagate that bit of information to the PRF. We use an APInt mask to
identify registers that are set to zero.

This patch adds two new boolean fields:
- Field `ReadState::IndependentFromDef`.
- Field `WriteState::WritesZero`.
Field `IndependentFromDef` is set for ReadState objects associated with
dependency-breaking instructions. It is used by the simulator when updating data
dependencies between registers.
Field `WritesZero` is set by WriteState objects associated with dependency
breaking zero-idiom instructions. It helps the PRF identify which writes don't
consume any physical registers.

Summary:
This patch removes the storing of accumulated floating point data
within the llvm-mca library.
This patch splits-up the two quantities: cycles and number of resource units.
By splitting-up these two quantities, we delay the calculation of "cycles per resource unit"
until that value is read, reducing the chance of accumulating floating point error.
I considered using the APFloat, but after measuring performance, for a large (many iteration)
sample, I decided to go with this faster solution.

Summary:
This patch introduces llvm-mca as a library. The driver (llvm-mca.cpp), views, and stats, are not part of the library.
Those are separate components that are not required for the functioning of llvm-mca.
The directory has been organized as follows:
All library source files now reside in:
- `lib/HardwareUnits/` - All subclasses of HardwareUnit (these represent the simulated hardware components of a backend).
(LSUnit does not inherit from HardwareUnit, but Scheduler does which uses LSUnit).
- `lib/Stages/` - All subclasses of the pipeline stages.
- `lib/` - This is the root of the library and contains library code that does not fit into the Stages or HardwareUnit subdirs.
All library header files now reside in the `include` directory and mimic the same layout as the `lib` directory mentioned above.
In the (near) future we would like to move the library (include and lib) contents from tools and into the core of llvm somewhere.
That change would allow various analysis and optimization passes to make use of MCA functionality for things like cost modeling.
I left all of the non-library code just where it has always been, in the root of the llvm-mca directory.
The include directives for the non-library source file have been updated to refer to the llvm-mca library headers.
I updated the llvm-mca/CMakeLists.txt file to include the library headers, but I made the non-library code
explicitly reference the library's 'include' directory. Once we eventually (hopefully) migrate the MCA library
components into llvm the include directives used by the non-library source files will be updated to point to the
proper location in llvm.
