a virtual register to eliminate a frame index, it can return that register
and the constant stored there to PEI to track. When scavenging to allocate
for those registers, PEI then tracks the last-used register and value, and
if it is still available and matches the value for the next index, reuses
the existing value rather and removes the re-materialization instructions.
Fancier tracking and adjustment of scavenger allocations to keep more
values live for longer is possible, but not yet implemented and would likely
be better done via a different, less special-purpose, approach to the
problem.
eliminateFrameIndex() is modified so the target implementations can return
the registers they wish to be tracked for reuse.
ARM Thumb1 implements and utilizes the new mechanism. All other targets are
simply modified to adjust for the changed eliminateFrameIndex() prototype.

default implementation. Update comment on the default version, which made it
sound like most targets override it. Currently only X86 and SystemZ override
this method.

- Drop the Candidates argument and fix all callers. Now that RegScavenger
tracks available registers accurately, there is no need to restict the
search.
- Make sure that no aliases of the found register are in use. This was a potential bug.
