In preparation for adding support for named vregs we are changing the sigil for
physical registers in MIR to '$' from '%'. This will prevent name clashes of
named physical register with named vregs.

Planning to add support for named vregs. This puts is in a conundrum since
physregs are named as well. To rectify this we need to use a sigil other than
'%' for physregs in MIR. We've settled on using '$' for physregs but first we
must repurpose it from external symbols using it, which is what this commit is
all about. We think '&' will have familiar semantics for C/C++ users.

When we forward a stored value to a load and eliminate it entirely we need to
make sure the liveness of the register is maintained all the way to its use.
Previously we only cleared liveness on the store doing the forwarding, but
there could be other killing uses in between.
We already do the right thing when the load has to be converted into something
else, it was just this one path that skipped it.

Summary:
This patch updates promoteLoadFromStore to use the store MachineOperand as the
source operand of the of the new instruction instead of creating a new
register MachineOperand. This way, the existing register flags are
preserved.
This fixes PR33468 (https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33468).

When promoting the Load of a Store-Load pair to a COPY all kill flags
between the store and the load need to be cleared.

Kill flags need to be updated correctly when moving stores up/down to
form store pair instructions.
Those invalid flags have been ignored before but as of r290014 they are
recognized when using -mllvm -verify-machineinstrs.
Also simplifies test/CodeGen/AArch64/ldst-opt-dbg-limit.mir, renames it
to ldst-opt.mir test and adds a new tests for this change.
