The AMDGPU target has a convention that defined all VGPRs
(execept the initial 32 argument registers) as callee-saved.
This convention is not efficient always, esp. when the callee
requiring more registers, ended up emitting a large number of
spills, even though its caller requires only a few.
This patch revises the ABI by introducing more scratch registers
that a callee can freely use.
The 256 vgpr registers now become:
32 argument registers
112 scratch registers and
112 callee saved registers.
The scratch registers and the CSRs are intermixed at regular
intervals (a split boundary of 8) to obtain a better occupancy.

Add the scratch wave offset to the scratch buffer descriptor (SRSrc) in
the entry function prologue. This allows us to removes the scratch wave
offset register from the calling convention ABI.
As part of this change, allow the use of an inline constant zero for the
SOffset of MUBUF instructions accessing the stack in entry functions
when a frame pointer is not requested/required. Entry functions with
calls still need to set up the calling convention ABI stack pointer
register, and reference it in order to address arguments of called
functions. The ABI stack pointer register remains unswizzled, but is now
wave-relative instead of queue-relative.
Non-entry functions also use an inline constant zero SOffset for
wave-relative scratch access, but continue to use the stack and frame
pointers as before. When the stack or frame pointer is converted to a
swizzled offset it is now scaled directly, as the scratch wave offset no
longer needs to be subtracted first.
Update llvm/docs/AMDGPUUsage.rst to reflect these changes to the calling
convention.

The code did not match the example in the comment, and was checking
the undef flag on the copy dest instead of source. The existing tests
were only hitting the > 2 operands case.
