Andrea Di Biagio 8b4cab0d54 [RFC][patch 3/3] Add support for variant scheduling classes in llvm-mca.
This patch is the last of a sequence of three patches related to LLVM-dev RFC
"MC support for variant scheduling classes".
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/123181.html

This fixes PR36672.

The main goal of this patch is to teach llvm-mca how to solve variant scheduling
classes.  This patch does that, plus it adds new variant scheduling classes to
the BtVer2 scheduling model to identify so-called zero-idioms (i.e. so-called
dependency breaking instructions that are known to generate zero, and that are
optimized out in hardware at register renaming stage).

Without the BtVer2 change, this patch would not have had any meaningful tests.
This patch is effectively the union of two changes:
 1) a change that teaches llvm-mca how to resolve variant scheduling classes.
 2) a change to the BtVer2 scheduling model that allows us to special-case
    packed XOR zero-idioms (this partially fixes PR36671).
