The old naming scheme (load/use/def/store) can be traced back to an old
linear scan article, but the names don't match how slots are actually
used.
The load and store slots are not needed after the deferred spill code
insertion framework was deleted.
The use and def slots don't make any sense because we are using
half-open intervals as is customary in C code, but the names suggest
closed intervals. In reality, these slots were used to distinguish
early-clobber defs from normal defs.
The new naming scheme also has 4 slots, but the names match how the
slots are really used. This is a purely mechanical renaming, but some
of the code makes a lot more sense now.

It is conservatively correct to keep the hasPHIKill flags, even after
deleting PHI-defs.
The calculation can be very expensive after taildup has created a
quadratic number of indirectbr edges in the CFG, and the hasPHIKill flag
isn't used for anything after RenumberValues().

There are too many compatibility problems with using mixed types in
std::upper_bound, and I don't want to spend 110 lines of boilerplate setting up
a call to a 10-line function. Binary search is not /that/ hard to implement
correctly.
I tried terminating the binary search with a linear search, but that actually
made the algorithm slower against my expectation. Most live intervals have less
than 4 segments. The early test against endIndex() does pay, and this version is
25% faster than plain std::upper_bound().

The existing CompEnd predicate does not define a strict weak order as required
by the C++03 standard; therefore, its use as a predicate to std::upper_bound
is invalid. For a discussion of this issue, see
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#270
This patch replaces the asymmetrical comparison with an iterator adaptor that
achieves the same effect while being strictly standard-conforming by ensuring
an apples-to-apples comparison.

This method could probably be used by LiveIntervalAnalysis::shrinkToUses, and
now it can use extendIntervalEndTo() which coalesces ranges.

Region splitting includes loop splitting as a subset, and it is more generic.
The splitting heuristics for variables that are live in more than one block are
now:
1. Try to create a region that covers multiple basic blocks.
2. Try to create a new live range for each block with multiple uses.
3. Spill.
Steps 2 and 3 are similar to what the standard spiller is doing.

physical register numbers.
This makes the hack used in LiveInterval official, and lets LiveInterval be
oblivious of stack slots.
The isPhysicalRegister() and isVirtualRegister() predicates don't know about
this, so when a variable may contain a stack slot, isStackSlot() should always
be tested first.

Print virtual registers numbered from 0 instead of the arbitrary
FirstVirtualRegister. The first virtual register is printed as %vreg0.
TRI::NoRegister is printed as %noreg.

We don't want unused values forming their own equivalence classes, so we lump
them all together in one class, and then merge them with the class of the last
used value.

connected components. These components should be allocated different virtual
registers because there is no reason for them to be allocated together.
Add the ConnectedVNInfoEqClasses class to calculate the connected components,
and move values to new LiveIntervals.
Use it from SplitKit::rewrite by creating new virtual registers for the
components.

LiveInterval::MergeValueNumberInto instead of trying to extend LiveRanges and
getting it wrong.
This fixed PR8249 where a valno with a multi-segment live range was defined by
an identity copy created by RemoveCopyByCommutingDef. Some of the live
segments disappeared.

instead of calling lower_bound or upper_bound directly.
This cleans up the search logic a bit because {lower,upper}_bound compare
LR->start by default, and it is usually simpler to search LR->end.
Funnelling all searches through one function also makes it possible to replace
the search algorithm with something faster than binary search.

register at a time. This turns out to be slightly faster than iterating over
instructions, but more importantly, it allows us to compute spill weights for
new registers created after the spill weight pass has run.
Also compute the allocation hint at the same time as the spill weight. This
allows us to use the spill weight as a cost metric for copies, and choose the
most profitable hint if there is more than one possibility.
The new hints provide a very small (< 0.1%) but universal code size improvement.

After heavy editing of a live interval, it is much easier to simply renumber the
live values instead of trying to keep track of the unused ones.

LiveInterval::overlapsFrom dereferences end() if it is called on an empty
interval.
It would be reasonable to just return false - an empty interval doesn't overlap
anything, but I want to know who is doing it first.

The VNInfo.kills vector was almost unused except for all the code keeping it
updated. The few places using it were easily rewritten to check for interval
ends instead.
The two new methods LiveInterval::killedAt and killedInRange are replacements.
This brings us down to 3 independent data structures tracking kills.

This fixes PR7479 and PR7485. The test cases from those PRs are big, so not
included. However, PR7485 comes from self hosting on FreeBSD, so we will surely
hear about any regression.
