Registers E[A-D]X, E[SD]I, E[BS]P, and EIP have 16-bit subregisters
that cover the low halves of these registers. This change adds artificial
subregisters for the high halves in order to differentiate (in terms of
register units) between the 32- and the low 16-bit registers.
This patch contains parts that aim to preserve the calculated register
pressure. This is in order to preserve the current codegen (minimize the
impact of this patch). The approach of having artificial subregisters
could be used to fix PR23423, but the pressure calculation would need
to be changed.

In preparation for adding support for named vregs we are changing the sigil for
physical registers in MIR to '$' from '%'. This will prevent name clashes of
named physical register with named vregs.
