Eli Friedman 8f249600e7 Enhanced vzeroupper insertion pass that avoids inserting vzeroupper where it is unnecessary through local analysis. Patch from Bruno Cardoso Lopes, with some additional changes.
I'm going to wait for any review comments and perform some additional testing before turning this on by default.

Bruno Cardoso Lopes 2a3ffb5d97 Introduce a pass to insert vzeroupper instructions to avoid AVX to
SSE transition penalty. The pass is enabled through the "x86-use-vzeroupper"
llc command line option. This is only the first step (very naive and
conservative one) to sketch out the idea, but proper DFA is coming next
to allow smarter decisions. Comments and ideas now and in further commits
will be very appreciated.
