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.

This updates the MIRPrinter to include the regclass when printing
virtual register defs, which is already valid syntax for the
parser. That is, given 64 bit %0 and %1 in a "gpr" regbank,
%1(s64) = COPY %0(s64)
would now be written as
%1:gpr(s64) = COPY %0(s64)
While this change alone introduces a bit of redundancy with the
registers block, it allows us to update the tests to be more concise
and understandable and brings us closer to being able to remove the
registers block completely.
Note: We generally only print the class in defs, but there is one
exception. If there are uses without any defs whatsoever, we'll print
the class on all uses. I'm not completely convinced this comes up in
meaningful machine IR, but for now the MIRParser and MachineVerifier
both accept that kind of stuff, so we don't want to have a situation
where we can print something we can't parse.

Each constant extender requires an extra instruction, which adds to the
code size and also reduces the number of available slots in an instruction
packet. In most cases, the value of a repeated constant extender could be
loaded into a register, and the instructions using the extender could be
replaced with their counterparts that use that register instead.
This patch adds a pass that tries to reduce the number of constant
extenders, including extenders which differ only in an immediate offset
known at compile time, e.g. @global and @global+12.
