DAGISel uses CopyToReg/CopyFromReg to lower PHI nodes. With large PHIs, this can result in poor codegen.
This is because it introduces a need to have a build_vector before copying the PHI value, and that build_vector may have many undef elements. This can cause very high register pressure and abnormal stack usage in some cases.
This scalarization/phi "break-up" can be easily tuned/disabled through CL options in case it's not beneficial for some users.
It's also only enabled for DAGIsel and GlobalISel handles PHIs much better (as it works on the whole function).
This can both scalarize (break a vector into its elements) and simplify (break a vector into smaller, more manageable subvectors) PHIs.

Two issues were found about machine inst scheduler when compiling ProRender
with -g for amdgcn target:
GCNScheduleDAGMILive::schedule tries to update LiveIntervals for DBG_VALUE, which it
should not since DBG_VALUE is not mapped in LiveIntervals.
when DBG_VALUE is the last instruction of MBB, ScheduleDAGInstrs::buildSchedGraph and
ScheduleDAGMILive::scheduleMI does not move RPTracker properly, which causes assertion.
This patch fixes that.
