- Remove code which lowers pseudo SETGP01.
- Fix LowerSETGP01. The first two of the three instructions that are emitted to
initialize the global pointer register now use register $2.
- Stop emitting .cpload directive.

reserving a physical register ($gp or $28) for that purpose.
This will completely eliminate loads that restore the value of $gp after every
function call, if the register allocator assigns a callee-saved register, or
eliminate unnecessary loads if it assigns a temporary register.
example:
.cpload $25 // set $gp.
...
.cprestore 16 // store $gp to stack slot 16($sp).
...
jalr $25 // function call. clobbers $gp.
lw $gp, 16($sp) // not emitted if callee-saved reg is chosen.
...
lw $2, 4($gp)
...
jalr $25 // function call.
lw $gp, 16($sp) // not emitted if $gp is not live after this instruction.
...
