Jakob Stoklund Olesen 33a1b416ac Don't run RAFast in the optimizing regalloc pipeline.
The fast register allocator is not supposed to work in the optimizing
pipeline. It doesn't make sense to compute live intervals, run full copy
coalescing, and then run RAFast.

Fast register allocation in the optimizing pipeline is better done by
RABasic.

Please use the fast allocator instead.

Jakob Stoklund Olesen f1b3029a54 Mostly rewrite RegAllocFast.
Sorry for the big change. The path leading up to this patch had some TableGen
changes that I didn't want to commit before I knew they were useful. They
weren't, and this version does not need them.

The fast register allocator now does no liveness calculations. Instead it relies
on kill flags provided by isel. (Currently those kill flags are also ignored due
to isel bugs). The allocation algorithm is supposed to work with any subset of
valid kill flags. More kill flags simply means fewer spills inserted.

Registers are allocated from a working set that contains no aliases. That means
most allocations can be done directly without expensive alias checks. When the
working set runs out of registers we do the full alias check to find new free
registers.
