The IRTranslator uses an additional block before the LLVM-IR entry block
to perform all the ABI lowering and the constant hoisting. Thus, this
block is the actual entry block and it falls through the LLVM-IR entry
block. However, with such representation, we end up with two basic
blocks that are not maximal.
Therefore, this patch adds a bit of canonicalization by merging both the
LLVM-IR entry block and the ABI lowering/constants hoisting into one
block, making the resulting block more likely to be maximal (indeed the
LLVM-IR entry block might not have been maximal).

MachineIRBuilder had weird before/after and beginning/end flags for the insert
point. Unfortunately the non-default means that instructions will be inserted
in reverse order which is almost never what anyone wants.
Really, I think we just want (like IRBuilder has) the ability to insert at any
C++ iterator-style point (i.e. before any instruction or before MBB.end()). So
this fixes MIRBuilders to behave like IRBuilders in this respect.

Summary:
Add basic functionality to support call lowering for X86.
Currently only supports functions which return void and take zero arguments.
Inspired by commit 286573.
