Targets that need to change the default allocation order should use the
AltOrders mechanism instead. See the X86 and ARM targets for examples.
The allocation_order_begin() and allocation_order_end() methods have been
replaced with getRawAllocationOrder(), and there is further support
functions in RegisterClassInfo.
It is no longer possible to insert arbitrary code into generated
register classes. This is a feature.

A register class can define AltOrders and AltOrderSelect instead of
defining method protos and bodies. The AltOrders lists can be defined
with set operations, and TableGen can verify that the alternative
allocation orders only contain valid registers.
This is currently an opt-in feature, and it is still possible to
override allocation_order_begin/end. That will not be true for long.

This prepares tablegen to compute register lists from set theoretic dag
expressions. This doesn't really make any difference as long as
Target.td still declares RegisterClass::MemberList as [Register].

Make the Elements vector private and expose an ArrayRef through
getOrder() instead. getOrder will eventually provide multiple
user-specified allocation orders.
Use the sorted member set for member and subclass tests. Clean up a lot
of ad hoc searches.

Besides moving structural computations to CodeGenRegisters.cpp, this
also well-defines the order of these lists:
- Sub-register lists come from a pre-order traversal of the graph
defined by the SubRegs lists in the .td files.
- Super-register lists are topologically ordered so no register comes
before any of its sub-registers. When the sub-register graph is not a
tree, independent super-registers appear in numerical order.
- Lists of overlapping registers are ordered according to register
number.
This reverses the order of the super-regs lists, but nobody was
depending on that. The previous order of the overlaps lists was odd, and
it may have depended on the precise behavior of std::stable_sort.
The old computations are still there, but will be removed shortly.

Some register classes are only used for instruction operand constraints.
They should never be used for virtual registers. Previously, those
register classes were given an empty allocation order, but now you can
say 'let isAllocatable=0' in the register class definition.
TableGen calculates if a register is part of any allocatable register
class, and makes that information available in TargetRegisterDesc::inAllocatableClass.
The goal here is to eliminate use cases for overriding allocation_order_*
methods.

On the x86-64 and thumb2 targets, some registers are more expensive to encode
than others in the same register class.
Add a CostPerUse field to the TableGen register description, and make it
available from TRI->getCostPerUse. This represents the cost of a REX prefix or a
32-bit instruction encoding required by choosing a high register.
Teach the greedy register allocator to prefer cheap registers for busy live
ranges (as indicated by spill weight).

structure that represents a mapping without any dependencies on SubRegIndex
numbering.
This brings us closer to being able to remove the explicit SubRegIndex
numbering, and it is now possible to specify any mapping without inventing
*_INVALID register classes.

and better control the abstraction. Rename the type
to MVT. To update out-of-tree patches, the main
thing to do is to rename MVT::ValueType to MVT, and
rewrite expressions like MVT::getSizeInBits(VT) in
the form VT.getSizeInBits(). Use VT.getSimpleVT()
to extract a MVT::SimpleValueType for use in switch
statements (you will get an assert failure if VT is
an extended value type - these shouldn't exist after
type legalization).
This results in a small speedup of codegen and no
new testsuite failures (x86-64 linux).
