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.

More conversions to load-and-test can be made with this patch by adding a
forward search in optimizeCompareZero().
