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.

Re-apply r276044/r279124/r305516. Fixed a problem where we would refuse
to place spills as the very first instruciton of a basic block and thus
artifically increase pressure (test in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/scavenging.mir:spill_at_begin)
This is a variant of scavengeRegister() that works for
enterBasicBlockEnd()/backward(). The benefit of the backward mode is
that it is not affected by incomplete kill flags.
This patch also changes
PrologEpilogInserter::doScavengeFrameVirtualRegs() to use the register
scavenger in backwards mode.

Revert because of reports of some PPC input starting to spill when it
was predicted that it wouldn't and no spillslot was reserved.
This reverts commit r305516.

Re-apply r276044/r279124. Trying to reproduce or disprove the ppc64
problems reported in the stage2 build last time, which I cannot
reproduce right now.

This pass allows to run the register scavenging independently of
PrologEpilogInserter to allow targeted testing.
Also adds some basic register scavenging tests.
