Summary:
Instead of writing boolean values temporarily into 32-bit VGPRs
if they are involved in PHIs or are observed from outside a loop,
we use bitwise masking operations to combine lane masks in a way
that is consistent with wave control flow.
Move SIFixSGPRCopies to before this pass, since that pass
incorrectly attempts to move SGPR phis to VGPRs.
This should recover most of the code quality that was lost with
the bug fix in "AMDGPU: Remove PHI loop condition optimization".
There are still some relevant cases where code quality could be
improved, in particular:
- We often introduce redundant masks with EXEC. Ideally, we'd
have a generic computeKnownBits-like analysis to determine
whether masks are already masked by EXEC, so we can avoid this
masking both here and when lowering uniform control flow.
- The criterion we use to determine whether a def is observed
from outside a loop is conservative: it doesn't check whether
(loop) branch conditions are uniform.

Summary:
When an i1-value is defined inside of a loop and used outside of it, we
cannot simply use the SGPR bitmask from the loop's last iteration.
There are also useful and correct cases of an i1-value being copied between
basic blocks, e.g. when a condition is computed outside of a loop and used
inside it. The concept of dominators is not sufficient to capture what is
going on, so I propose the notion of "lane-dominators".
Fixes a bug encountered in Nier: Automata.

Hwreg(...) syntax implementation unified with sendmsg(...).
Common strings moved to Utils
MathExtras.h functionality utilized.
Added missing build dependency in Disassembler.

This is going to be used in .hsatext disassembler and can be used
in current assembler parser (lit tests passed on parsing).
Code using this helpers isn't included in this patch.
Benefits:
unified approach
fast field name lookup on parsing
Later I would like to enhance some of the field naming/syntax using this code.
