The arguments to the entry block arrive in registers determined by the
ABI. This information is stored in the signature.
Use a separate function for coloring entry block arguments using the
signature information. We can't handle stack arguments yet.

This value affinity doesn't mean "whatever", it means that the value
does not interact with any real instructions, where "real" means
instructions that have a legal encoding.
Update the liveness verifier to check this property:
- Encoded instructions can only use real values.
- Encoded instructions define real values.
- Ghost instructions define ghost values.

The legalize_signature() function will return ArgumentLoc::Reg arguments
that contain a register unit. However, the register also needs to be
able to associate a register class with the argument values to fully
track the used registers.
When values are defined by instructions, the register class is part for
the operand constraints for the instruction. For values defined on ABI
boundaries like function arguments and return values from a call, the
register class is provided by the new regclass_for_abi_type() function.
Provide implementations of this function in abi modules of all the
targets, even those that don't have a legalize_signature()
implementation yet.
Since we're adding abi modules to all targets, move the
legalize_signature() stubs in there and make the function mandatory in
TargetIsa. All targets will eventually need this function.

If we generated new instructions as part of legalize, and the new
instructions failed to legalize, we'd be left with a func.encodings[]
that would panic when you dereferenced the inst.

The other legalizer cases have a continue after setting the position
to double back, while this one didn't. Make sure that we do, in case
another legalizer block is added after this one.

This means that we can verify the basics with verify_context before
moving on to verifying the liveness information.
Live ranges are now verified immediately after computing them and after
register allocation is complete.

The liveness verifier will check that the live ranges are consistent
with the function. It runs as part of the register allocation pipeline
when enable_verifier is set.
The initial implementation checks the live ranges, but not the
ISA-specific constraints and affinities.

The test drivers can stop calling comp_ctx.verify because legalize() and
regalloc() do it themselves now.
This also makes it possible for those two passes to return other
CtonError codes in the future, not just verifier errors.

This is off by default, but enabled by the parser when reading a textual
IL file. Test files can still override the default to turn off
verification.
The setting enables IL verifier passes at critical points of the
compilation pipeline.

These special-purpose arguments and return values are only relevant for
the function being compiled, so add a `current` flag to
legalize_signature().
- Add the necessary argument values to the entry block to represent
the special-purpose arguments.
- Propagate the link and sret arguments to return instructions if the
legalized signature asks for it.

Enumerate a set of special purposes for function arguments that general
purpose code needs to know about. Some of these argument purposes will
only appear in the signature of the current function, representing
things the prologue and epilogues need to know about like the link
register and callee-saved registers.
Get rid of the 'inreg' argument flag. Arguments can be pre-assigned to a
specific register instead.
