Add SplitEditor::overlapIntv() to create small ranges where both registers are live.

If a live range is used by a terminator instruction, and that live range needs
to leave the block on the stack or in a different register, it can be necessary
to have both sides of the split live at the terminator instruction.

Example:

  %vreg2 = COPY %vreg1
  JMP %vreg1

Becomes after spilling %vreg2:

  SPILL %vreg1
  JMP %vreg1

The spill doesn't kill the register as is normally the case.
