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.

Planning to add support for named vregs. This puts is in a conundrum since
physregs are named as well. To rectify this we need to use a sigil other than
'%' for physregs in MIR. We've settled on using '$' for physregs but first we
must repurpose it from external symbols using it, which is what this commit is
all about. We think '&' will have familiar semantics for C/C++ users.
