heuristic: the value is already live at the new memory operation if
it is used by some other instruction in the memop's block. This is
cheap and simple to compute (moreso than full liveness).
This improves the new heuristic even more. For example, it cuts two
out of three new instructions out of 255.vortex:DbmFileInGrpHdr,
which is one of the functions that the heuristic regressed. This
overall eliminates another 40 instructions from 403.gcc and visibly
reduces register pressure in 255.vortex (though this only actually
ends up saving the 2 instructions from the whole program).

phrased in terms of liveness instead of as a horrible hack. :)
In pratice, this doesn't change the generated code for either
255.vortex or 403.gcc, but it could cause minor code changes in
theory. This is framework for coming changes.

-enable-smarter-addr-folding to llc) that gives CGP a better
cost model for when to sink computations into addressing modes.
The basic observation is that sinking increases register
pressure when part of the addr computation has to be available
for other reasons, such as having a use that is a non-memory
operation. In cases where it works, it can substantially reduce
register pressure.
This code is currently an overall win on 403.gcc and 255.vortex
(the two things I've been looking at), but there are several
things I want to do before enabling it by default:
1. This isn't doing any caching of results, so it is much slower
than it could be. It currently slows down release-asserts llc
by 1.7% on 176.gcc: 27.12s -> 27.60s.
2. This doesn't think about inline asm memory operands yet.
3. The cost model botches the case when the needed value is live
across the computation for other reasons.
I'll continue poking at this, and eventually turn it on as llcbeta.

optimize addressing modes. This allows us to optimize things like isel-sink2.ll
into:
movl 4(%esp), %eax
cmpb $0, 4(%eax)
jne LBB1_2 ## F
LBB1_1: ## TB
movl $4, %eax
ret
LBB1_2: ## F
movzbl 7(%eax), %eax
ret
instead of:
_test:
movl 4(%esp), %eax
cmpb $0, 4(%eax)
leal 4(%eax), %eax
jne LBB1_2 ## F
LBB1_1: ## TB
movl $4, %eax
ret
LBB1_2: ## F
movzbl 3(%eax), %eax
ret
This shrinks (e.g.) 403.gcc from 1133510 to 1128345 lines of .s.
Note that the 2008-10-16-SpillerBug.ll testcase is dubious at best, I doubt
it is really testing what it thinks it is.

(a) Remove conditionally removed code in SelectXAddr. Basically, hope for the
best that the A-form and D-form address predicates catch everything before
the code decides to emit a X-form address.
(b) Expand vector store test cases to include the usual suspects.

This triggers once in 403.gcc, saving 1 (!!!!) instruction in the
whole huge app.

into a new AddressingModeMatcher class. This makes it easier
to reason about and reduces passing around of stuff, but has
no functionality change.
