This adds infrastructure to print and parse MIR MachineOperand comments.
The motivation for the ARM backend is to print condition code names instead of
magic constants that are difficult to read (for human beings). For example,
instead of this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0, killed $cpsr
we now print this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14 /* CC::always */, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0 /* CC:eq */, killed $cpsr
This shows that MachineOperand comments are enclosed between /* and */. In this
example, the EOR instruction is not conditionally executed (i.e. it is "always
executed"), which is encoded by the 14 immediate machine operand. Thus, now
this machine operand has /* CC::always */ as a comment. The 0 on the next
conditional branch instruction represents the equal condition code, thus now
this operand has /* CC:eq */ as a comment.
As it is a comment, the MI lexer/parser completely ignores it. The benefit is
that this keeps the change in the lexer extremely minimal and no target
specific parsing needs to be done. The changes on the MIPrinter side are also
minimal, as there is only one target hooks that is used to create the machine
operand comments.

In preparation for adding support for named vregs we are changing the sigil for
physical registers in MIR to '$' from '%'. This will prevent name clashes of
named physical register with named vregs.

The PeepholeOptimizer would fail for vregs without a definition. If this
was caused by an undef operand abort to keep the code simple (so we
don't need to add logic everywhere to replicate the undef flag).

When replacing a PHI the PeepholeOptimizer currently takes the register
class of the register at the first operand. This however is not correct
if this argument has a subregister index.
As there is currently no API to query the register class resulting from
applying a subregister index to all registers in a class, we can only
abort in these cases and not perform the transformation.
This changes findNextSource() to require the end of all copy chains to
not use a subregister if there is any PHI in the chain. I had to rewrite
the overly complicated inner loop there to have a good place to insert
the new check.
