These are needed as a counterpart for VGPR subregs even though
there are no scalar instructions which can operate 16 bit values.
When we are materializing a constant that is done into an SGPR
and that SGPR may/will be copied into a 16 bit VGPR subreg. Such
copy is illegal. There are also similar problems if a source
operand of a 16 bit VALU instruction is an SGPR. In addition
we need to get a register with a lo16 subregister of an SGPR
RC during selection and this fails as well.
All of that makes me believe we need these subregisters as a
syntactic glue.

We have loads preserving low and high 16 bits of their
destinations. However, we always use a whole 32 bit register
for these. The same happens with 16 bit stores, we have to
use full 32 bit register so if high bits are clobbered the
register needs to be copied. One example of such code is
added to the load-hi16.ll.
The proper solution to the problem is to define 16 bit subregs
and use them in the operations which do not read another half
of a VGPR or preserve it if the VGPR is written.
This patch simply defines subregisters and register classes.
At the moment there should be no difference in code generation.
A lot more work is needed to actually use these new register
classes. Therefore, there are no new tests at this time.
Register weight calculation has changed with new subregs so
appropriate changes were made to keep all calculations just
as they are now, especially calculations of register pressure.

We are relying on atrificial DAG edges inserted by the
MemOpClusterMutation to keep loads and stores together in the
post-RA scheduler. This does not work all the time since it
allows to schedule a completely independent instruction in the
middle of the cluster.
Removed the DAG mutation and added pass to bundle already
clustered instructions. These bundles are unpacked before the
memory legalizer because it does not work with bundles but also
because it allows to insert waitcounts in the middle of a store
cluster.
Removing artificial edges also allows a more relaxed scheduling.
