The AMDGPU target has a convention that defined all VGPRs
(execept the initial 32 argument registers) as callee-saved.
This convention is not efficient always, esp. when the callee
requiring more registers, ended up emitting a large number of
spills, even though its caller requires only a few.
This patch revises the ABI by introducing more scratch registers
that a callee can freely use.
The 256 vgpr registers now become:
32 argument registers
112 scratch registers and
112 callee saved registers.
The scratch registers and the CSRs are intermixed at regular
intervals (a split boundary of 8) to obtain a better occupancy.

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.

Make the FP register callee saved.
This is tricky because now the FP needs to be spilled in the prolog
relative to the incoming SP register, rather than the frame register
used throughout the rest of the function. I don't like how this
bypassess the standard mechanism for CSR spills just to get the
correct insert point. I may look for a better solution, since all CSR
VGPRs may also need to have all lanes activated. Another option might
be to make getFrameIndexReference change the base register if the
frame index is a CSR, and then try to figure out the right insertion
point in emitProlog.
If there is a free VGPR lane available for SGPR spilling, try to use
it for the FP. If that would require intrtoducing a new VGPR spill,
try to use a free call clobbered SGPR. Only fallback to introducing a
new VGPR spill as a last resort.
This also doesn't attempt to handle SGPR spilling with scalar stores.

The BUNDLE itself should not have side effects, and this is a property
of instructions inside the bundle. The hasProperty check already
searches for any member instructions, which was pointless since it was
overridden by this bit.
Allows me to distinguish bundles that have side effects vs. do not in
a future patch. Also fixes an unnecessary scheduling barrier in the
bundle AMDGPU uses to get PC relative addresses.

Every called function could possibly need this to calculate the
absolute address of stack objectst, and this avoids inserting a copy
around every call site in the kernel. It's also somewhat cleaner to
keep this in a callee saved SGPR.

Currently you get extra waits, because waits are inserted for the
register dependencies of the call, and the function prolog waits on
everything.
Currently waits are still inserted on returns. It may make sense to
not do this, and wait in the caller instead.
