Summary:
In SelectionDAG, when a store is immediately chained to another store
to the same address, elide the first store as it has no observable
effects. This is causes small improvements dealing with intrinsics
lowered to stores.
Test notes:
* Many testcases overwrite store addresses multiple times and needed
minor changes, mainly making stores volatile to prevent the
optimization from optimizing the test away.
* Many X86 test cases optimized out instructions associated with
associated with va_start.
* Note that test_splat in CodeGen/AArch64/misched-stp.ll no longer has
dependencies to check and can probably be removed and potentially
replaced with another test.

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).

This change adds support for software floating point operations for Sparc targets.
This is the first in a set of patches to enable software floating point on Sparc. The next patch will enable the option to be used with Clang.

On SparcV8, doubles get passed in two 32-bit integer registers. The call
code was already handling endianness correctly, but the incoming
argument code was not -- it got the two halves in opposite order.
Also remove some dead code in LowerFormalArguments_32 to handle
less-than-32bit values, which can't actually happen.
Finally, add some test cases for the 32-bit calling convention, cribbed
from the 64abi.ll test, and run for both big and little-endian.
