Summary:
As disscused in https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43219,
i believe it may be somewhat useful to show //some// aggregates
over all the sea of statistics provided.
Example:
```
Average Wait times (based on the timeline view):
[0]: Executions
[1]: Average time spent waiting in a scheduler's queue
[2]: Average time spent waiting in a scheduler's queue while ready
[3]: Average time elapsed from WB until retire stage
[0] [1] [2] [3]
0. 3 1.0 1.0 4.7 vmulps %xmm0, %xmm1, %xmm2
1. 3 2.7 0.0 2.3 vhaddps %xmm2, %xmm2, %xmm3
2. 3 6.0 0.0 0.0 vhaddps %xmm3, %xmm3, %xmm4
3 3.2 0.3 2.3 <total>
```
I.e. we average the averages.

Before this patch, loads and stores were only tracked by their corresponding
queues in the LSUnit from dispatch until execute stage. In practice we should be
more conservative and assume that memory opcodes leave their queues at
retirement stage.
Basically, loads should leave the load queue only when they have completed and
delivered their data. We conservatively assume that a load is completed when it
is retired. Stores should be tracked by the store queue from dispatch until
retirement. In practice, stores can only leave the store queue if their data can
be written to the data cache.
This is mostly a mechanical change. With this patch, the retire stage notifies
the LSUnit when a memory instruction is retired. That would triggers the release
of LDQ/STQ entries. The only visible change is in memory tests for the bdver2
model. That is because bdver2 is the only model that defines the load/store
queue size.
This patch partially addresses PR39830.

I've started this cleanup more several times now, but got sidetracked
elsewhere, e.g. by llvm-exegesis problems. Not this time, finally!
This is mainly cleaning up the inverse throughput values,
and a few latencies/uops, based on the llvm-exegesis measured values.
Though this is not complete by any means,
there's certainly more cleanup to be done.
The performance numbers (i've only checked by RawSpeed benchmark) aren't
really surprising - overall this *slightly* (< -1%) improves perf.

It makes more sense to print out the number of micro opcodes that are issued
every cycle rather than the number of instructions issued per cycle.
This behavior is also consistent with the dispatch-stats: numbers from the two
views can now be easily compared.

This patch adds the ability to specify via tablegen which processor resources
are load/store queue resources.
A new tablegen class named MemoryQueue can be optionally used to mark resources
that model load/store queues. Information about the load/store queue is
collected at 'CodeGenSchedule' stage, and analyzed by the 'SubtargetEmitter' to
initialize two new fields in struct MCExtraProcessorInfo named `LoadQueueID` and
`StoreQueueID`. Those two fields are identifiers for buffered resources used to
describe the load queue and the store queue.
Field `BufferSize` is interpreted as the number of entries in the queue, while
the number of units is a throughput indicator (i.e. number of available pickers
for loads/stores).
At construction time, LSUnit in llvm-mca checks for the presence of extra
processor information (i.e. MCExtraProcessorInfo) in the scheduling model. If
that information is available, and fields LoadQueueID and StoreQueueID are set
to a value different than zero (i.e. the invalid processor resource index), then
LSUnit initializes its LoadQueue/StoreQueue based on the BufferSize value
declared by the two processor resources.
With this patch, we more accurately track dynamic dispatch stalls caused by the
lack of LS tokens (i.e. load/store queue full). This is also shown by the
differences in two BdVer2 tests. Stalls that were previously classified as
generic SCHEDULER FULL stalls, are not correctly classified either as "load
queue full" or "store queue full".
About the differences in the -scheduler-stats view: those differences are
expected, because entries in the load/store queue are not released at
instruction issue stage. Instead, those are released at instruction executed
stage. This is the main reason why for the modified tests, the load/store
queues gets full before PdEx is full.

This change is in preparation for a patch that fixes PR36666.
llvm-mca currently doesn't know if a buffered processor resource describes a
load or store queue. So, any dynamic dispatch stall caused by the lack of
load/store queue entries is normally reported as a generic SCHEDULER stall. See for
example the -dispatch-stats output from the two tests modified by this patch.
In future, processor models will be able to tag processor resources that are
used to describe load/store queues. That information would then be used by
llvm-mca to correctly classify dynamic dispatch stalls caused by the lack of
tokens in the LS.

When looking at the tests committed by Roman at r346587, I noticed that numbers
reported by the resource pressure for PdAGU01 were wrong.
In particular, according to the aut-generated CHECK lines in tests
memcpy-like-test.s and store-throughput.s, resource pressure for PdAGU01
was not uniformly distributed among the two AGEN pipes.
It turns out that the reason why pressure was not correctly distributed, was
because the "resource selection strategy" object associated with PdAGU01 was not
correctly updated on the event of AGEN pipe used.
As a result, llvm-mca was not simulating a round-robin pipeline allocation for
PdAGU01. Instead, PdAGU1 was always prioritized over PdAGU0.
This patch fixes the issue; now processor resource strategy objects for
resources declaring multiple units, are correctly notified in the event of
"resource used".

There are two AGU units, and per 1cy, there can be either two loads,
or a load and a store; but not two stores, or two loads and a store.
Additionally, loads shouldn't affect the store scheduler and vice versa.
(but *should* affect the PdEX scheduler.)
Required rL346545.

As noted by Andrea Di Biagio in https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39465
both the loads and stores occupy both the store and load queues.
This is clearly wrong.

During review it was noted that while it appears that
the Piledriver can do two [consecutive] loads per cycle,
it can only do one store per cycle. It was suggested
that the sched model incorrectly models that,
but it was opted to fix this afterwards.
These tests show that the two consecutive loads are
modelled correctly, and one consecutive stores is not
modelled incorrectly. Unless i'm missing the point.
