An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

calling convention.
The implementation of the related callbacks in the x86 backend for such
functions are not ready to deal with a prologue block that is not the entry
block of the function.
This fixes PR26107, but the longer term solution would be to fix those callbacks.

without a frame pointer when unwind may happen.
This is a workaround for a bug in the way we emit the CFI directives for
frameless unwind information. See PR25614.
