MachineRegisterInfo used to allow just one regalloc hint per virtual
register. This patch extends this to a vector of regalloc hints, which is
filled in by common code with sorted copy hints. Such hints will make for
more ID copies that can be removed.
NB! This improvement is currently (and hopefully temporarily) *disabled* by
default, except for SystemZ. The only reason for this is the big impact this
has on tests, which has unfortunately proven unmanageable. It was a long
while since all the tests were updated and just waiting for review (which
didn't happen), but now targets have to enable this themselves
instead. Several targets could get a head-start by downloading the tests
updates from the Phabricator review. Thanks to those who helped, and sorry
you now have to do this step yourselves.
This should be an improvement generally for any target!
The target may still create its own hint, in which case this has highest
priority and is stored first in the vector. If it has target-type, it will
not be recomputed, as per the previous behaviour.
The temporary hook enableMultipleCopyHints() will be removed as soon as all
targets return true.

The code used llvm basic block predecessors to decided where to insert phi
nodes. Instruction selection can and will liberally insert new machine basic
block predecessors. There is not a guaranteed one-to-one mapping from pred.
llvm basic blocks and machine basic blocks.
Therefore the current approach does not work as it assumes we can mark
predecessor machine basic block as needing a copy, and needs to know the set of
all predecessor machine basic blocks to decide when to insert phis.
Instead of computing the swifterror vregs as we select instructions, propagate
them at the end of instruction selection when the MBB CFG is complete.
When an instruction needs a swifterror vreg and we don't know the value yet,
generate a new vreg and remember this "upward exposed" use, and reconcile this
at the end of instruction selection.
This will only happen if the target supports promoting swifterror parameters to
registers and the swifterror attribute is used.

Summary:
Port rL265480, rL264754, rL265997 and rL266252 to SystemZ, in order to enable the Swift port on the architecture. SwiftSelf and SwiftError are assigned to R10 and R9, respectively, which are normally callee-saved registers. For more information, see:
