Otherwise we'll attempt to forward ECX, EDX, and EAX for cdecl and
stdcall thunks, leaving us with no scratch registers for indirect call
targets.
Fixes PR22052.

Previously I tried to plug musttail into the existing vararg lowering
code. That turned out to be a mistake, because non-vararg calls use
significantly different register lowering, even on x86. For example, AVX
vectors are usually passed in registers to normal functions and memory
to vararg functions. Now musttail uses a completely separate lowering.
Hopefully this can be used as the basis for non-x86 perfect forwarding.

Summary:
If a variadic function body contains a musttail call, then we copy all
of the remaining register parameters into virtual registers in the
function prologue. We track the virtual registers through the function
body, and add them as additional registers to pass to the call. Because
this is all done in virtual registers, the register allocator usually
gives us good code. If the function does a call, however, it will have
to spill and reload all argument registers (ew).
Forwarding regparms on x86_32 is not implemented because most compilers
don't support varargs in 32-bit with regparms.
