Matthias Braun 538859cca3 llc: Add support for -run-pass none
This does not schedule any passes besides the ones necessary to
construct and print the machine function. This is useful to test .mir
file reading and printing.

Alex Lorenz 5022f6bb81 MIR Serialization: Change MIR syntax - use custom syntax for MBBs.
This commit modifies the way the machine basic blocks are serialized - now the
machine basic blocks are serialized using a custom syntax instead of relying on
YAML primitives. Instead of using YAML mappings to represent the individual
machine basic blocks in a machine function's body, the new syntax uses a single
YAML block scalar which contains all of the machine basic blocks and
instructions for that function.

This is an example of a function's body that uses the old syntax:

    body:
      - id: 0
        name: entry
        instructions:
          - '%eax = MOV32r0 implicit-def %eflags'
          - 'RETQ %eax'
    ...

The same body is now written like this:

    body: |
      bb.0.entry:
        %eax = MOV32r0 implicit-def %eflags
        RETQ %eax
    ...

This syntax change is motivated by the fact that the bundled machine
instructions didn't map that well to the old syntax which was using a single
YAML sequence to store all of the machine instructions in a block. The bundled
machine instructions internally use flags like BundledPred and BundledSucc to
determine the bundles, and serializing them as MI flags using the old syntax
would have had a negative impact on the readability and the ease of editing
for MIR files. The new syntax allows me to serialize the bundled machine
instructions using a block construct without relying on the internal flags,
for example:

   BUNDLE implicit-def dead %itstate, implicit-def %s1 ... {
      t2IT 1, 24, implicit-def %itstate
      %s1 = VMOVS killed %s0, 1, killed %cpsr, implicit killed %itstate
   }

This commit also converts the MIR testcases to the new syntax. I developed
a script that can convert from the old syntax to the new one. I will post the
script on the llvm-commits mailing list in the thread for this commit.
