This distinguishes input operands from output operands. This is something of
a syntactic experiment to see whether the mild amount of clutter this adds is
outweighed by the extra information it conveys to the reader.

This also takes the push/pop syntax another step forward, introducing stack
slot numbers to make it easier to see how expressions are connected. For
example, the value pushed in $push7 is popped in $pop7.
And, this begins an experiment with making get_local and set_local implicit
when an operation directly uses or defines a register. This greatly reduces
clutter. If this experiment succeeds, it may make sense to do this for
const instructions as well.
And, this introduces more special code for ARGUMENTS; hopefully this code
will soon be obviated by proper support for live-in virtual registers.

Switch to MC for instruction printing.
This encompasses several changes which are all interconnected:
- Use the MC framework for printing almost all instructions.
- AsmStrings are now live.
- This introduces an indirection between LLVM vregs and WebAssembly registers,
and a new pass, WebAssemblyRegNumbering, for computing a basic the mapping.
This addresses some basic issues with argument registers and unused registers.
- The way ARGUMENT instructions are handled no longer generates redundant
get_local+set_local for every argument.
This also changes the assembly syntax somewhat; most notably, MC's printing
does not use sigils on label names, so those are no longer present, and
push/pop now have a sigil to keep them unambiguous.
The usage of set_local/get_local/$push/$pop will continue to evolve
significantly. This patch is just one step of a larger change.

This new syntax is built around putting each instruction on its own line
in a "mnemonic op, op, op" like syntax. It also uses conventional data
section directives like ".byte" and so on rather than requiring everything
to be in hierarchical S-expression format. This is a more natural syntax
for a ".s" file format from the perspective of LLVM MC and related tools,
while remaining easy to translate into other forms as needed.
