- Kill is implicit when use and def registers are identical.
- Only virtual registers can differ.
Add a -verify-fast-regalloc to run the verifier before the fast allocator.

This loop is quadratic in the capacity for a DenseMap:
while(!map.empty())
map.erase(map.begin());
Instead we now do a normal begin() - end() iteration followed by map.clear().
That also has the nice sideeffect of shrinking the map capacity on demand.

Sorry for the big change. The path leading up to this patch had some TableGen
changes that I didn't want to commit before I knew they were useful. They
weren't, and this version does not need them.
The fast register allocator now does no liveness calculations. Instead it relies
on kill flags provided by isel. (Currently those kill flags are also ignored due
to isel bugs). The allocation algorithm is supposed to work with any subset of
valid kill flags. More kill flags simply means fewer spills inserted.
Registers are allocated from a working set that contains no aliases. That means
most allocations can be done directly without expensive alias checks. When the
working set runs out of registers we do the full alias check to find new free
registers.

This actually makes everything slower, but the plan is to have isel add <kill>
flags the way it is already adding <dead> flags. Then LiveVariables can be
removed again.
When ignoring the time spent in LiveVariables, -regalloc=fast is now twice as
fast as -regalloc=local.

So far this is just a clone of -regalloc=local that has been lobotomized to run
25% faster. It drops the least-recently-used calculations, and is just plain
stupid when it runs out of registers.
The plan is to make this go even faster for -O0 by taking advantage of the short
live intervals in unoptimized code. It should not be necessary to calculate
liveness when most virtual registers are killed 2-3 instructions after they are
born.
