Alex Lorenz 5022f6bb81 MIR Serialization: Change MIR syntax - use custom syntax for MBBs.
This commit modifies the way the machine basic blocks are serialized - now the
machine basic blocks are serialized using a custom syntax instead of relying on
YAML primitives. Instead of using YAML mappings to represent the individual
machine basic blocks in a machine function's body, the new syntax uses a single
YAML block scalar which contains all of the machine basic blocks and
instructions for that function.

This is an example of a function's body that uses the old syntax:

    body:
      - id: 0
        name: entry
        instructions:
          - '%eax = MOV32r0 implicit-def %eflags'
          - 'RETQ %eax'
    ...

The same body is now written like this:

    body: |
      bb.0.entry:
        %eax = MOV32r0 implicit-def %eflags
        RETQ %eax
    ...

This syntax change is motivated by the fact that the bundled machine
instructions didn't map that well to the old syntax which was using a single
YAML sequence to store all of the machine instructions in a block. The bundled
machine instructions internally use flags like BundledPred and BundledSucc to
determine the bundles, and serializing them as MI flags using the old syntax
would have had a negative impact on the readability and the ease of editing
for MIR files. The new syntax allows me to serialize the bundled machine
instructions using a block construct without relying on the internal flags,
for example:

   BUNDLE implicit-def dead %itstate, implicit-def %s1 ... {
      t2IT 1, 24, implicit-def %itstate
      %s1 = VMOVS killed %s0, 1, killed %cpsr, implicit killed %itstate
   }

This commit also converts the MIR testcases to the new syntax. I developed
a script that can convert from the old syntax to the new one. I will post the
script on the llvm-commits mailing list in the thread for this commit.

Alex Lorenz 305e8f6312 Add a test case for r242191 ([MMX] Use the appropriate instructions for
GR64 <-> VR64 copies).

This commit adds a MIR test case for the commit r242191, which was committed
without one. This test case verifies that the ExpandPostRA pass expands the
GR64 <-> VR64 copies into the appropriate MMX_MOV instructions.
