An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

This change adds support for software floating point operations for Sparc targets.
This is the first in a set of patches to enable software floating point on Sparc. The next patch will enable the option to be used with Clang.

On SparcV8, doubles get passed in two 32-bit integer registers. The call
code was already handling endianness correctly, but the incoming
argument code was not -- it got the two halves in opposite order.
Also remove some dead code in LowerFormalArguments_32 to handle
less-than-32bit values, which can't actually happen.
Finally, add some test cases for the 32-bit calling convention, cribbed
from the 64abi.ll test, and run for both big and little-endian.
