All shift operations will be selected as SALU instructions and then
if necessary lowered to VALU instructions in the SIFixSGPRCopies pass.
This allows us to do more operations on the SALU which will improve
performance and is also required for implementing private memory
using indirect addressing, since the private memory pointers must stay
in the scalar registers.
This patch includes some fixes from Matt Arsenault.

Since the VSrc_* register classes contain both VGPRs and SGPRs, copies
that used be emitted by isel like this:
SGPR = COPY VGPR
Will now be emitted like this:
VSrC = COPY VGPR
This patch also adds a pass that tries to identify and fix situations where
a VGPR to SGPR copy may occur. Hopefully, these changes will make it
impossible for the compiler to generate illegal VGPR to SGPR copies.
