Currently the return address ABI registers s[30:31], which fall in the call
clobbered register range, are added as a live-in on the function entry to
preserve its value when we have calls so that it gets saved and restored
around the calls.
But the DWARF unwind information (CFI) needs to track where the return address
resides in a frame and the above approach makes it difficult to track the
return address when the CFI information is emitted during the frame lowering,
due to the involvment of understanding the control flow.
This patch moves the return address ABI registers s[30:31] into callee saved
registers range and stops adding live-in for return address registers, so that
the CFI machinery will know where the return address resides when CSR
save/restore happen during the frame lowering.
And doing the above poses an issue that now the return instruction uses undefined
register `sgpr30_sgpr31`. This is resolved by hiding the return address register
use by the return instruction through the `SI_RETURN` pseudo instruction, which
doesn't take any input operands, until the `SI_RETURN` pseudo gets lowered to the
`S_SETPC_B64_return` during the `expandPostRAPseudo()`.
As an added benefit, this patch simplifies overall return instruction handling.
Note: The AMDGPU CFI changes are there only in the downstream code and another
version of this patch will be posted for review for the downstream code.

This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
- Add standalone metadata parsing support so that machine metadata nodes
could be populated before and accessed during MIR is parsed.
