Summary:
Enabling this fully exposes a latent bug in the instruction folding: we
never update the register constraints for the register operands when
fusing a load into another operation. The fused form could, in theory,
have different register constraints on its operands. And in fact,
TCRETURNm* needs its memory operands to use tailcall compatible
registers.
I've updated the folding code to re-constrain all the registers after
they are mapped onto their new instruction.
However, we still can't enable folding in the general case from
TCRETURNr* to TCRETURNm* because doing so may require more registers to
be available during the tail call. If the call itself uses all but one
register, and the folded load would require both a base and index
register, there will not be enough registers to allocate the tail call.
It would be better, IMO, to teach the register allocator to *unfold*
TCRETURNm* when it runs out of registers (or specifically check the
number of registers available during the TCRETURNr*) but I'm not going
to try and solve that for now. Instead, I've just blocked the forward
folding from r -> m, leaving LLVM free to unfold from m -> r as that
doesn't introduce new register pressure constraints.
The down side is that I don't have anything that will directly exercise
this. Instead, I will be immediately using this it my SLH patch. =/
Still worse, without allowing the TCRETURNr* -> TCRETURNm* fold, I don't
have any tests that demonstrate the failure to update the memory operand
register constraints. This patch still seems correct, but I'm nervous
about the degree of testing due to this.
Suggestions?

Also move the static folding tables, their search functions and the new class into new cpp/h files.
The unfolding table is effectively static data. It's just a different ordering and a subset of the static folding tables.
By putting it in a separate ManagedStatic we ensure we only have one copy instead of one per X86InstrInfo object. This way also makes it only get initialized when really needed.
