Summary:
LC can currently select scalar load for uniform memory access
basing on readonly memory address space only. This restriction
originated from the fact that in HW prior to VI vector and scalar caches
are not coherent. With MemoryDependenceAnalysis we can check that the
memory location corresponding to the memory operand of the LOAD is not
clobbered along the all paths from the function entry.

Summary:
We were previously selecting all constant loads to SMRD instructions and legalizing
the SMRDs with non-uniform addresses during the SIFixSGPRCopesPass.
This new solution is more simple and also generates much better code, because
the instruction selector is able to take advantage of all the MUBUF addressing
modes that are legalization pass wasn't able to.
We also no longer need to generate v_add_* instructions when we
have a uniform pointer and a non-uniform offset, as this is now folded into the
MUBUF instruction during instruction selection.
