An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

autogenerated.
Also update existing test cases which appear to be generated by it and
weren't modified (other than addition of the header) by rerunning it.

The motivation for this patch starts with the epic fail example in PR18007:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=18007
...unfortunately, this patch makes no difference for that case, but it solves some
simpler cases. We'll get there some day. :)
The current 'or' matching code was using computeKnownBits() via
isBaseWithConstantOffset() -> MaskedValueIsZero(), but that's an unnecessarily limited use.
We can do more by copying the logic in ValueTracking's haveNoCommonBitsSet(), so we can
treat the 'or' as if it was an 'add'.
There's a TODO comment here because we should lift the bit-checking logic into a helper
function, so it's not duplicated in DAGCombiner.
An example of the better LEA matching:
leal (%rdi,%rdi), %eax
andl $1, %esi
orl %esi, %eax
Becomes:
andl $1, %esi
leal (%rsi,%rdi,2), %eax
