This stops reporting CostPerUse 1 for `R8`-`R15` and `XMM8`-`XMM31`.
This was previously done because instruction encoding require a REX
prefix when using them resulting in longer instruction encodings. I
found that this regresses the quality of the register allocation as the
costs impose an ordering on eviction candidates. I also feel that there
is a bit of an impedance mismatch as the actual costs occure when
encoding instructions using those registers, but the order of VReg
assignments is not primarily ordered by number of Defs+Uses.
I did extensive measurements with the llvm-test-suite wiht SPEC2006 +
SPEC2017 included, internal services showed similar patterns. Generally
there are a log of improvements but also a lot of regression. But on
average the allocation quality seems to improve at a small code size
regression.

Test updates were performed using:
https://gist.github.com/nikic/98357b71fd67756b0f064c9517b62a34
These are only the test updates where the test passed without
further modification (which is almost all of them, as the backend
is largely pointer-type agnostic).
To generate zero value, the PXOR instruction need 3 operands that is
tied to the same vreg. If is not good in SSA form and with undef value
two address instruction pass may convert
`%0:vr128 = PXORrr undef %0, undef %0`
to `%1:vr128 = PXORrr undef %1:vr128(tied-def 0), undef %0:vr128`.
It is not expected.
It can be simplified to SET0 instruction which only take 1 destination
operand. It should be more friendly to two address instruction pass and
register allocation pass.
`%0:vr128 = V_SET0`
Also add AVX1 code path so that it is consistant to other code.

This is a follow up of D99010. We didn't consider the live range of shape registers when hoist ldtilecfg. There maybe risks, e.g. we happen to insert it to an invalid range of some registers and get unexpected error.
This patch fixes this problem by storing the value to corresponding stack place of ldtilecfg after all its definition immediately.
This patch also fix a problem in previous code: If we don't have a ldtilecfg which dominates all AMX instructions, we cannot initialize shapes for other ldtilecfg.
There're still some optimization points left. E.g. eliminate unused mov instructions, break the def-use dependency before RA etc.

The previous code calculated the first ldtilecfg by dominating all AMX registers' def. This may result in the ldtilecfg being inserted into a loop.
This patch try to calculate the nearest point where all shapes of AMX registers are reachable.

This is an optimized approach for D94155.
Previous code build the model that tile config register is the user of
each AMX instruction. There is a problem for the tile config register
spill. When across function, the ldtilecfg instruction may be inserted
on each AMX instruction which use tile config register. This cause all
tile data register clobber.
To fix this issue, we remove the model of tile config register. Instead,
we analyze the AMX instructions between one call to another. We will
insert ldtilecfg after the first call if we find any AMX instructions.

To fix this issue, we remove the model of tile config register. We
analyze the regmask of call instruction and insert ldtilecfg if there is
any tile data register live across the call. Inserting the sttilecfg
before the call is unneccessary, because the tile config doesn't change
and we can just reload the config.
Besides we also need check tile config register interference. Since we
don't model the config register we should check interference from the
ldtilecfg to each tile data register def.
ldtilecfg
/ \
BB1 BB2
/ \
call BB3
/ \
%1=tileload %2=tilezero
We can start from the instruction of each tile def, and backward to
ldtilecfg. If there is any call instruction, and tile data register is
not preserved, we should insert ldtilecfg after the call instruction.
