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.

Planning to add support for named vregs. This puts is in a conundrum since
physregs are named as well. To rectify this we need to use a sigil other than
'%' for physregs in MIR. We've settled on using '$' for physregs but first we
must repurpose it from external symbols using it, which is what this commit is
all about. We think '&' will have familiar semantics for C/C++ users.

This updates the MIRPrinter to include the regclass when printing
virtual register defs, which is already valid syntax for the
parser. That is, given 64 bit %0 and %1 in a "gpr" regbank,
%1(s64) = COPY %0(s64)
would now be written as
%1:gpr(s64) = COPY %0(s64)
While this change alone introduces a bit of redundancy with the
registers block, it allows us to update the tests to be more concise
and understandable and brings us closer to being able to remove the
registers block completely.
Note: We generally only print the class in defs, but there is one
exception. If there are uses without any defs whatsoever, we'll print
the class on all uses. I'm not completely convinced this comes up in
meaningful machine IR, but for now the MIRParser and MachineVerifier
both accept that kind of stuff, so we don't want to have a situation
where we can print something we can't parse.

Althought it is not wrong to spill undef values, it is useless and harms
both code size and runtime. Before spilling a value, check that its
content actually matters.
