This reverts commit 5583c2f2fb.
The lldb bot failure was a test that was fragile and sensitive to irrelevant
changes in instruction ordering. Re-committing this as the test should have
been skipped for AArch64 now.

This changes the localizer to attempt intra-block localizer of instructions
that have local uses. This is useful because sometimes the entry block itself
has many uses of constant-like instructions, which would benefit from shortening
live ranges. Previously if an inst had no non-local uses, we wouldn't add it to
the list of instructions to attempt further intra-block localization.
This gives a 0.7% geomean code size improvement on CTMark.

This looked through copies to find the source modifiers, which may
have been SGPR->VGPR copies added to avoid potential constant bus
violations. Re-insert a copy to a VGPR if this happens.
This trivially avoids violating the constant bus restriction.
Previously this was allowing one SGPR in the first source
operand, which technically also avoided violating this for most
operations (but not for special cases reading vcc).
We do need to write some new, smarter operand folds to pick the
optimal SGPR to use in some kind of post-isel fold, but that's purely
an optimization.
I was originally thinking we would pick which operands should be SGPRs
in RegBankSelect, but I think this isn't really manageable. There
would be additional complexity to handle every G_* instruction, and
then any nontrivial instruction patterns would need to know when to
avoid violating it, which is likely to be very error prone.
I think having all inputs being canonically copies to VGPRs will
simplify the operand folding logic. The current folding we do is
backwards, and only considers one operand at a time, relative to
operands it already has. It therefore poorly handles the case where
there is already a constant bus operand user. If all operands are
copies, it's somewhat simpler to consider all input operands at once
to choose the optimal constant bus user.
Since the failure mode for constant bus violations is now a verifier
error and not an selection failure, this moves towards a place where
we can turn on the fallback mode. The SGPR copy folding optimizations
can be left for later.
