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.

output
As part of the unification of the debug format and the MIR format,
always use `printReg` to print all kinds of registers.
Updated the tests using '_' instead of '%noreg' until we decide which
one we want to be the default one.

Prior to this patch we used to not touch the LiveRegMatrix while doing
live-range splitting. In other words, when live-range splitting was
occurring, the LiveRegMatrix was not reflecting the changes.
This is generally fine because it means the query to the LiveRegMatrix
will be conservately correct. However, when decisions are taken based on
what is going to happen on the interferences (e.g., when we spill a
register and know that it is going to be available for another one), we
might hit an assertion that the color used for the assignment is still
in use.
This patch makes sure the changes on the live-ranges are properly
reflected in the LiveRegMatrix, so the assertions don't break.
An alternative could have been to remove the assertion, but it would
make the invariants of the code and the general reasoning more
complicated in my opnion.
