Summary:
AtomicExpand already had logic for expanding wide loads and stores on LL/SC
architectures, and for expanding wide stores on CmpXchg architectures, but
not for wide loads on CmpXchg architectures. This patch fills this hole,
and makes use of this new feature in the X86 backend.
Only one functionnal change: we now lose the SynchScope attribute.
It is regrettable, but I have another patch that I will submit soon that will
solve this for all of AtomicExpand (it seemed better to split it apart as it
is a different concern).
Test Plan: make check-all (lots of tests for this functionality already exist)

The logic for expanding atomics that aren't natively supported in
terms of cmpxchg loops is much simpler to express at the IR level. It
also allows the normal optimisations and CodeGen improvements to help
out with atomics, instead of using a limited set of possible
instructions..

- Clear 'mayStore' flag when loading from the atomic variable before the
spin loop
- Clear kill flag from one use to multiple use in registers forming the
address to that atomic variable
- don't use a physical register as live-in register in BB (neither entry
nor landing pad.) by copying it into virtual register
