Clustering loads has caching benefits, but as far as I know there is no
advantage to clustering stores on any AMDGPU subtargets.
The disadvantage is that it tends to increase register pressure and
restricts scheduling freedom.

Add the scratch wave offset to the scratch buffer descriptor (SRSrc) in
the entry function prologue. This allows us to removes the scratch wave
offset register from the calling convention ABI.
As part of this change, allow the use of an inline constant zero for the
SOffset of MUBUF instructions accessing the stack in entry functions
when a frame pointer is not requested/required. Entry functions with
calls still need to set up the calling convention ABI stack pointer
register, and reference it in order to address arguments of called
functions. The ABI stack pointer register remains unswizzled, but is now
wave-relative instead of queue-relative.
Non-entry functions also use an inline constant zero SOffset for
wave-relative scratch access, but continue to use the stack and frame
pointers as before. When the stack or frame pointer is converted to a
swizzled offset it is now scaled directly, as the scratch wave offset no
longer needs to be subtracted first.
Update llvm/docs/AMDGPUUsage.rst to reflect these changes to the calling
convention.

Summary:
pickNodeBidirectional tried to compare the best top candidate and the
best bottom candidate by examining TopCand.Reason and BotCand.Reason.
This is unsound because, after calling pickNodeFromQueue, Cand.Reason
does not reflect the most important reason why Cand was chosen. Rather
it reflects the most recent reason why it beat some other potential
candidate, which could have been for some low priority tie breaker
reason.
I have seen this cause problems where TopCand is a good candidate, but
because TopCand.Reason is ORDER (which is very low priority) it is
repeatedly ignored in favour of a mediocre BotCand. This is not how
bidirectional scheduling is supposed to work.
To fix this I changed the code to always compare TopCand and BotCand
directly, like the generic implementation of pickNodeBidirectional does.
This removes some uncommented AMDGPU-specific logic; if this logic turns
out to be important then perhaps it could be moved into an override of
tryCandidate instead.
Graphics shader benchmarking on gfx10 shows a lot more positive than
negative effects from this change.

This is apparently worse than 1-byte alignment. This does not attempt
to decompose 2-byte aligned wide stores, but will stop trying to
produce them.
Also fix bug in LoadStoreVectorizer which was decreasing the alignment
and vectorizing stack accesses. It was assuming a stack object was an
alloca that could have its base alignment changed, which is not true
if the pointer is derived from a function argument.
