An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

It's strange to duplicate the logic for emitting FP values into
emitGlobalConstantDataSequential, and it's even stranger that we end
up printing the verbose assembly comments differently between the two
paths. Just call into emitGlobalConstantFP rather than crudely
duplicating its logic.

The custom code produces incorrect results if later reassociated.
Since r221657, on x86, vNi32 uitofp is lowered using an optimized
sequence:
movdqa LCPI0_0(%rip), %xmm1 ## xmm1 = [65535, ...]
pand %xmm0, %xmm1
por LCPI0_1(%rip), %xmm1 ## [0x4b000000, ...]
psrld $16, %xmm0
por LCPI0_2(%rip), %xmm0 ## [0x53000000, ...]
addps LCPI0_3(%rip), %xmm0 ## [float -5.497642e+11, ...]
addps %xmm1, %xmm0
Since r240361, the machine combiner opportunistically reassociates
2-instruction sequences (with -ffast-math). In the new code sequence,
the ADDPS' are eligible. In isolation, for simple examples (without
reassociable users), this makes no performance difference (the goal
being to enable reassociation of longer chains).
In the trivial example (just one uitofp), the reassociation doesn't
happen, because (I think) it would require the emission of a separate
movaps for a constantpool load (instead of folding it into addps).
However, when we have multiple uitofp sequences, and the constantpool
loads are CSE'd earlier, the machine combiner can do the reassociation.
When the ADDPS' are reassociated, the resulting sequence isn't correct
anymore, as we'd be adding large (2**39) constants with comparatively
smaller values (~2**23). Given that two of the three inputs are powers
of 2 larger than 2**16, and that ulp(2**39) == 2**(39-24) == 2**15,
the reassociated chain will produce 0 for any input in [0, 2**14[.
In my testing, it also produces wrong results for 99.5% of [0, 2**32[.
Avoid this by disabling the new lowering when -ffast-math. It does
mean that we'll get slower code than without it, but at least we
won't get egregiously incorrect code.
One might argue that, considering -ffast-math is all but meaningless,
uitofp producing wrong results isn't a compiler bug. But it really is.
Fixes PR24512.
...though this is really more of a workaround.
Ideally, we'd have some sort of Machine FMF, but that's a problem
that's not worth tackling until we do more with machine IR.
