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.

artifacts along with DCE
Legalization Artifacts are all those insts that are there to make the
type system happy. Currently, the target needs to say all combinations
of extends and truncs are legal and there's no way of verifying that
post legalization, we only have *truly* legal instructions. This patch
changes roughly the legalization algorithm to process all illegal insts
at one go, and then process all truncs/extends that were added to
satisfy the type constraints separately trying to combine trivial cases
until they converge. This has the added benefit that, the target
legalizerinfo can only say which truncs and extends are okay and the
artifact combiner would combine away other exts and truncs.
Updated legalization algorithm to roughly the following pseudo code.
WorkList Insts, Artifacts;
collect_all_insts_and_artifacts(Insts, Artifacts);
do {
for (Inst in Insts)
legalizeInstrStep(Inst, Insts, Artifacts);
for (Artifact in Artifacts)
tryCombineArtifact(Artifact, Insts, Artifacts);
} while(!Insts.empty());
Also, wrote a simple wrapper equivalent to SetVector, except for
erasing, it avoids moving all elements over by one and instead just
nulls them out.

This updates the MIRPrinter to include the regclass when printing
virtual register defs, which is already valid syntax for the
parser. That is, given 64 bit %0 and %1 in a "gpr" regbank,
%1(s64) = COPY %0(s64)
would now be written as
%1:gpr(s64) = COPY %0(s64)
While this change alone introduces a bit of redundancy with the
registers block, it allows us to update the tests to be more concise
and understandable and brings us closer to being able to remove the
registers block completely.
Note: We generally only print the class in defs, but there is one
exception. If there are uses without any defs whatsoever, we'll print
the class on all uses. I'm not completely convinced this comes up in
meaningful machine IR, but for now the MIRParser and MachineVerifier
both accept that kind of stuff, so we don't want to have a situation
where we can print something we can't parse.

This is in preparation for a verifier check that makes sure copies are
of the same size (when generic virtual registers are involved).

Added a combiner which can clean up truncs/extends that are created in
order to make the types work during legalization.
Also moved the combineMerges to the LegalizeCombiner.
