This makes easier to identify changes in the instruction info flags. It also
helps spotting potential regressions similar to the one recently introduced at
r336728.
Using the same character to mark MayLoad/MayStore/HasSideEffects is problematic
for llvm-lit. When pattern matching substrings, llvm-lit consumes tabs and
spaces. A change in position of the flag marker may not trigger a test failure.
This patch only changes the character used for flag `hasSideEffects`. The reason
why I didn't touch other flags is because I want to avoid spamming the mailing
because of the massive diff due to the numerous tests affected by this change.
In future, each instruction flag should be associated with a different character
in the Instruction Info View.

This patch is the last of a sequence of three patches related to LLVM-dev RFC
"MC support for variant scheduling classes".
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/123181.html
This fixes PR36672.
The main goal of this patch is to teach llvm-mca how to solve variant scheduling
classes. This patch does that, plus it adds new variant scheduling classes to
the BtVer2 scheduling model to identify so-called zero-idioms (i.e. so-called
dependency breaking instructions that are known to generate zero, and that are
optimized out in hardware at register renaming stage).
Without the BtVer2 change, this patch would not have had any meaningful tests.
This patch is effectively the union of two changes:
1) a change that teaches llvm-mca how to resolve variant scheduling classes.
2) a change to the BtVer2 scheduling model that allows us to special-case
packed XOR zero-idioms (this partially fixes PR36671).
