The current implementation of skip insertion (SIInsertSkip) makes it a
mandatory pass required for correctness. Initially, the idea was to
have an optional pass. This patch inserts the s_cbranch_execz upfront
during SILowerControlFlow to skip over the sections of code when no
lanes are active. Later, SIRemoveShortExecBranches removes the skips
for short branches, unless there is a sideeffect and the skip branch is
really necessary.
This new pass will replace the handling of skip insertion in the
existing SIInsertSkip Pass.

In a future patch, this will help cleanup m0 handling.
The register coalescer handles copies from a register that
materializes an immediate, but doesn't handle move immediates
itself. The virtual register uses will often be allocated to the same
register, so there end up being no real copy.
