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.

In preparation for adding support for named vregs we are changing the sigil for
physical registers in MIR to '$' from '%'. This will prevent name clashes of
named physical register with named vregs.

Re-apply r276044/r279124/r305516. Fixed a problem where we would refuse
to place spills as the very first instruciton of a basic block and thus
artifically increase pressure (test in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/scavenging.mir:spill_at_begin)
This is a variant of scavengeRegister() that works for
enterBasicBlockEnd()/backward(). The benefit of the backward mode is
that it is not affected by incomplete kill flags.
This patch also changes
PrologEpilogInserter::doScavengeFrameVirtualRegs() to use the register
scavenger in backwards mode.

Revert because of reports of some PPC input starting to spill when it
was predicted that it wouldn't and no spillslot was reserved.
This reverts commit r305516.

Re-apply r276044/r279124. Trying to reproduce or disprove the ppc64
problems reported in the stage2 build last time, which I cannot
reproduce right now.

This pass allows to run the register scavenging independently of
PrologEpilogInserter to allow targeted testing.
Also adds some basic register scavenging tests.
