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.

If we need to shift left anyway we might be able to take advantage
of LUI implicitly shifting its immediate left by 12 to cover part
of the shift. This allows us to use more bits of the LUI immediate
to avoid an ADDI.
isDesirableToCommuteWithShift now considers compressed instruction
opportunities when deciding if commuting should be allowed.
I believe this is the same or similar to one of the optimizations
from D79492.

This has added comments to spill-related instructions and added @plt to
