This patch aims to reduce spilling and register moves by using the 3-address
versions of instructions per default instead of the 2-address equivalent
ones. It seems that both spilling and register moves are improved noticeably
generally.
Regalloc hints are passed to increase conversions to 2-address instructions
which are done in SystemZShortenInst.cpp (after regalloc).
Since the SystemZ reg/mem instructions are 2-address (dst and lhs regs are
the same), foldMemoryOperandImpl() can no longer trivially fold a spilled
source register since the reg/reg instruction is now 3-address. In order to
remedy this, new 3-address pseudo memory instructions are used to perform the
folding only when the dst and lhs virtual registers are known to be allocated
to the same physreg. In order to not let MachineCopyPropagation run and
change registers on these transformed instructions (making it 3-address), a
new target pass called SystemZPostRewrite.cpp is run just after
VirtRegRewriter, that immediately lowers the pseudo to a target instruction.
If it would have been possibe to insert a COPY instruction and change a
register operand (convert to 2-address) in foldMemoryOperandImpl() while
trusting that the caller (e.g. InlineSpiller) would update/repair the
involved LiveIntervals, the solution involving pseudo instructions would not
have been needed. This is perhaps a potential improvement (see Phabricator
post).
Common code changes:
* A new hook TargetPassConfig::addPostRewrite() is utilized to be able to run a
target pass immediately before MachineCopyPropagation.
* VirtRegMap is passed as an argument to foldMemoryOperand().

The ABI allows sub-128 vectors to be passed and returned in registers,
with the vector occupying the upper part of a register. We therefore
want to legalize those types by widening the vector rather than promoting
the elements.
The patch includes some simple tests for sub-128 vectors and also tests
that we can recognize various pack sequences, some of which use sub-128
vectors as temporary results. One of these forms is based on the pack
sequences generated by llvmpipe when no intrinsics are used.
Signed unpacks are recognized as BUILD_VECTORs whose elements are
individually sign-extended. Unsigned unpacks can have the equivalent
form with zero extension, but they also occur as shuffles in which some
elements are zero.
