A Direct stack map location records the address of frame index. This
address is itself the value that the runtime requested. This differs
from IndirectMemRefOp locations, which refer to a stack locations from
which the requested values must be loaded. Direct locations can
directly communicate the address if an alloca, while IndirectMemRefOp
handle register spills.
For example:
entry:
%a = alloca i64...
llvm.experimental.stackmap(i32 <ID>, i32 <shadowBytes>, i64* %a)
Since both the alloca and stackmap intrinsic are in the entry block,
and the intrinsic takes the address of the alloca, the runtime can
assume that LLVM will not substitute alloca with any intervening
value. This must be verified by the runtime by checking that the stack
map's location is a Direct location type. The runtime can then
determine the alloca's relative location on the stack immediately after
compilation, or at any time thereafter. This differs from Register and
Indirect locations, because the runtime can only read the values in
those locations when execution reaches the instruction address of the
stack map.

Implementing this on bigendian platforms could get strange. I added a
target hook, getStackSlotRange, per Jakob's recommendation to make
this as explicit as possible.

We already know how to fold a reload from a frameindex without
analyzing the load instruction. Generalize this to handle any
frameindex load. This streamlines the logic for rematerializing loads
from stack arguments. As a side effect, it allows stackmaps to record
a stack argument location without spilling it.
Verified no effect on codegen for llvm test-suite.

This patch moves the jump address materialization inside the noop slide. This
enables patching of the materialization itself or its complete removal. This
patch also adds the ability to define scratch registers that can be used safely
by the code called from the patchpoint intrinsic. At least one scratch register
is required, because that one is used for the materialization of the jump
address. This patch depends on D2009.
