PR #66334 tried to renumber slot indexes before register allocation, but
the numbering was still affected by list entries for instructions which
had been erased. Fix this to make the register allocator's live range
length heuristics even less dependent on the history of how instructions
have been added to and removed from SlotIndexes's maps.
RegAllocGreedy uses SlotIndexes::getApproxInstrDistance to approximate
the length of a live range for its heuristics. Renumbering all slot
indexes with the default instruction distance ensures that this estimate
will be as accurate as possible, and will not depend on the history of
how instructions have been added to and removed from SlotIndexes's maps.
This also means that enabling -early-live-intervals, which runs the
SlotIndexes analysis earlier, will not cause large amounts of churn due
to different register allocator decisions.
After D86836, we can define multiple cost values for
different cost models. So here we set CostPerUse to
1 iff RVC is enabled to avoid potential impact on RA.

Currently, we restore the return address register as the last restoring
instruction in the epilog. The next instruction is `ret` usually. It is
a use of return address register. In some microarchitectures, there is
load-to-use data hazard. To avoid the load-to-use data hazard, we could
separate the load instruction from its use as far as possible. In this
patch, we reverse the order of restoring callee-saved registers to
increase the distance of `load ra` and `ret` in the epilog.

This simple heuristic uses the estimated live range length combined
with the number of registers in the class to switch which heuristic to
use. This was taking the raw number of registers in the class, even
though not all of them may be available. AMDGPU heavily relies on
dynamically reserved numbers of registers based on user attributes to
satisfy occupancy constraints, so the raw number is highly misleading.
There are still a few problems here. In the original testcase that
made me notice this, the live range size is incorrect after the
scheduler rearranges instructions, since the instructions don't have
the original InstrDist offsets. Additionally, I think it would be more
appropriate to use the number of disjointly allocatable registers in
the class. For the AMDGPU register tuples, there are a large number of
registers in each tuple class, but only a small fraction can actually
be allocated at the same time since they all overlap with each
other. It seems we do not have a query that corresponds to the number
of independently allocatable registers. Relatedly, I'm still debugging
some allocation failures where overlapping tuples seem to not be
handled correctly.
The test changes are mostly noise. There are a handful of x86 tests
that look like regressions with an additional spill, and a handful
that now avoid a spill. The worst looking regression is likely
test/Thumb2/mve-vld4.ll which introduces a few additional
spills. test/CodeGen/AMDGPU/soft-clause-exceeds-register-budget.ll
shows a massive improvement by completely eliminating a large number
of spills inside a loop.
Regenerated using:
./llvm/utils/update_llc_test_checks.py -u llvm/test/CodeGen/RISCV/*.ll
This has added comments to spill-related instructions and added @plt to
some symbols.

Because of the layout of stores (that don't have a destination operand)
this check is exactly the same as the one in
RISCVInstrInfo::isLoadFromStackSlot.
