When register allocator's stage is RS_Spill, we choose spill over using the CSR
for the first time, if the spill cost is lower than CSRCost.
When register allocator's stage is < RS_Split, we choose pre-splitting over
using the CSR for the first time, if the cost of splitting is lower than
CSRCost.
CSRCost is set with command-line option "regalloc-csr-first-time-cost". The
default value is 0 to generate the same codes as before this commit.
With a value of 15 (1 << 14 is the entry frequency), I measured performance
gain of 3% on 253.perlbmk and 1.7% on 197.parser, with instrumented PGO,
on an arm device.
