Split a virtual register with hint may generate COPY instructions in
multiple cold basic blocks, and increase code size. So disable this
split when the function is optimized for size.
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.
If a virtual register is not assigned preferred physical register, it means some
COPY instructions will be changed to real register move instructions. In this
case we can try to split the virtual register in colder blocks, if success, the
original COPY instructions can be deleted, and the new COPY instructions in
colder blocks will be generated as register move instructions. It results in
fewer dynamic register move instructions executed.
The new test case split-reg-with-hint.ll gives an example, the hot path contains
24 instructions without this patch, now it is only 4 instructions with this
patch.

Based ontop of D104598, which is a NFCI-ish refactoring.
Here, a restriction, that only empty blocks can be merged, is lifted.

ldm and stm instructions always require 4-byte alignment on the pointer, but we
weren't checking this before trying to reduce code-size by replacing a
post-indexed load/store with them. Unfortunately, we were also dropping this
incormation in DAG ISel too, but that's easy enough to fix.

While working on a Thumb-2 code size optimization I just realized that we don't have any regression tests for it.
So here's a first test case, I plan to increase the coverage over time.
