In preparation for adding support for named vregs we are changing the sigil for
physical registers in MIR to '$' from '%'. This will prevent name clashes of
named physical register with named vregs.

Planning to add support for named vregs. This puts is in a conundrum since
physregs are named as well. To rectify this we need to use a sigil other than
'%' for physregs in MIR. We've settled on using '$' for physregs but first we
must repurpose it from external symbols using it, which is what this commit is
all about. We think '&' will have familiar semantics for C/C++ users.

Some generic instructions have multiple types. While in theory these always be
discovered by inspecting the single definition of each generic vreg, in
practice those definitions won't always be local and traipsing through a big
function to find them will not be fun.
So this changes MIRPrinter to print out the type of uses as well as defs, if
they're known to be different or not known to be the same.
On the parsing side, we're a little more flexible: provided each register is
given a type in at least one place it's mentioned (and all types are
consistent) we accept the MIR. This doesn't introduce ambiguity but makes
writing tests manually a bit less painful.

This does not schedule any passes besides the ones necessary to
construct and print the machine function. This is useful to test .mir
file reading and printing.

This commit serializes the machine instruction's register operand ties.
The ties are printed out only when the instructon has register ties that are
different from the ties that are specified in the instruction's description.
