Live ranges with a constrained register class may benefit from splitting
around individual uses. It allows the remaining live range to use a
larger register class where it may allocate. This is like spilling to a
different register class.
This is only attempted on constrained register classes.

CHECK. The latter error was hidden by the former, and the test harness
used by e.g. "make check" silently ignored that opt was printing an
error message about an unknown flag instead of running on the test file.

Now that the coalescer keeps live intervals and machine code in sync at
all times, it needs to deal with identity copies differently.
When merging two virtual registers, all identity copies are removed
right away. This means that other identity copies must come from
somewhere else, and they are going to have a value number.
Deal with such copies by merging the value numbers before erasing the
copy instruction. Otherwise, we leave dangling value numbers in the live
interval.
This fixes PR12927.

leader table. That's because it wasn't expecting instructions to turn up as
leader for a value number that is not its own, but equality propagation could
create this situation. One solution is to have the leader table use a WeakVH
but this slows down GVN by about 5%. Instead just have equality propagation not
add instructions to the leader table, only constants and arguments. In theory
this might cause GVN to run more (each time it changes something it runs again)
but it doesn't seem to occur enough to cause a slow down.

instruction encodings can be excluded during mips16 processing.
This revision fixes the issue raised by Jim Grosbach.
bool hasStandardEncoding() const { return !inMips16Mode(); }
When micromips is added it will be
bool StandardEncoding() const { return !inMips16Mode()&& !inMicroMipsMode(); }
No additional testing is needed other than to assure that there is no regression
from this patch.
Patch by Reed Kotler.

32-bit offset jump tables just use real branch instructions and so aren't
marked as data regions. We were still emitting the .end_data_region
marker though, which assert()ed.

This helps compile time when the greedy register allocator splits live
ranges in giant functions. Without the bias, we would try to grow
regions through the giant edge bundles, usually to find out that the
region became too big and expensive.
If a live range has many uses in blocks near the giant bundle, the small
negative bias doesn't make a big difference, and we still consider
regions including the giant edge bundle.
Giant edge bundles are usually connected to landing pads or indirect
branches.

With physreg joining out of the way, it is easy to recognize the
instructions that need their kill flags cleared while testing for
interference.
This allows us to skip the final scan of all instructions for an 11%
speedup of the coalescer pass.
