When a call is placed to spill an interval this spiller will first try to
break the interval up into its component values. Single value intervals and
intervals which have already been split (or are the result of previous splits)
are spilled by the default spiller.
Splitting intervals as described above may improve the performance of generated
code in some circumstances. This work is experimental however, and it still
miscompiles many benchmarks. It's not recommended for general use yet.

All spiller calls in RegAllocLinearScan now go through the new Spiller interface.
The "-new-spill-framework" command line option has been removed. To use the trivial in-place spiller you should now pass "-spiller=trivial -rewriter=trivial".
(Note the trivial spiller/rewriter are only meant to serve as examples of the new in-place modification work. Enabling them will yield terrible, though hopefully functional, code).

This fixes a very subtle bug. vr defined by an implicit_def is allowed overlap with any register since it doesn't actually modify anything. However, if it's used as a two-address use, its live range can be extended and it can be spilled. The spiller must take care not to emit a reload for the vn number that's defined by the implicit_def. This is both a correctness and performance issue.

register is available and when it's profitable.
e.g.
xorq %r12<kill>, %r13
addq %rax, -184(%rbp)
addq %r13, -184(%rbp)
==>
xorq %r12<kill>, %r13
movq -184(%rbp), %r12
addq %rax, %r12
addq %r13, %r12
movq %r12, -184(%rbp)
Two more instructions, but fewer memory accesses. It can also open up
opportunities for more optimizations.
