364b8e5f0a Use value lists for call arguments.
Add a new kind of instruction format that keeps all of its value
arguments in a value list. These value lists are all allocated out of
the dfg.value_lists memory pool.

Instruction formats with the value_list property set store *all* of
their value arguments in a single value list. There is no distinction
between fixed arguments and variable arguments.

Change the Call instruction format to use the value list representation
for its arguments.

This change is only the beginning. The intent is to eliminate the
boxed_storage instruction formats completely. Value lists use less
memory, and when the transition is complete, InstructionData will have a
trivial Drop implementation.

83571028d9 Add a register allocation context module.
Collect the data structures that hang around between function
compilations.

Provide a main entry point to the register allocator passes.

74eb13c17a Create live ranges for dead defs.
When the liveness pass implements dead code elimination, missing live
ranges can be used to indicate unused values that it may be possible to
remove. But even then, we may have to keep dead defs around if the
instruction has side effects or other live defs.

2361467536 Return RegInfo by value from TargetIsa::register_info().
The struct is just a pair of static references, and we don't need the
double indirection.

e3480987bd Live Value Tracker.
Keep track of which values are live and dead as we move through the
instructions in an EBB.

8ca61b2a24 Compute register affinities during liveness analysis.
Each live range has an affinity hint containing the preferred register
class (or stack slot). Compute the affinity by merging the constraints
of the def and all uses.

8033deda3a Add a liveness analysis.
This code is best tested with larger functions with more EBBs.
Perhaps a new file-test category is in order?
