Prior to this commit, physical registers defined implicitly were considered free
right after their definition, i.e.. like dead definitions. Therefore, their uses
had to immediately follow their definitions, otherwise the related register may
be reused to allocate a virtual register.
This commit fixes this assumption by keeping implicit definitions alive until
they are actually used. The downside is that if the implicit definition was dead
(and not marked at such), we block an otherwise available register. This is
however conservatively correct and makes the fast register allocator much more
robust in particular regarding the scheduling of the instructions.
Fixes PR21700.

CopyFromReg nodes for aliasing registers (AX and AL). This confuses the fast
register allocator.
Instead of CopyFromReg(AL), use ExtractSubReg(CopyFromReg(AX), sub_8bit).
This fixes PR7312.
