When new virtual registers are created during splitting/spilling, defer
creation of the live interval until we need to use the live interval.
Along with the recent commits to notify LiveRangeEdit when new virtual
registers are created, this makes it possible for functions like
TargetInstrInfo::loadRegFromStackSlot() and
TargetInstrInfo::storeRegToStackSlot() to create multiple virtual
registers as part of the process of generating loads/stores for
different register classes, and then have the live intervals for those
new registers computed when they are needed.

Add a delegate class to MachineRegisterInfo with a single virtual
function, MRI_NoteNewVirtualRegister(). Update LiveRangeEdit to inherit
from this delegate class and override the definition of the callback
with an implementation that tracks the newly created virtual registers.

Track new virtual registers by register number, rather than by the live
interval created for them. This is the first step in separating the
creation of new virtual registers and new live intervals. Eventually
live intervals will be created and populated on demand after the virtual
registers have been created and used in instructions.

The main advantages here are way better heuristics, taking into account not
just loop depth but also __builtin_expect and other static heuristics and will
eventually learn how to use profile info. Most of the work in this patch is
pushing the MachineBlockFrequencyInfo analysis into the right places.
This is good for a 5% speedup on zlib's deflate (x86_64), there were some very
unfortunate spilling decisions in its hottest loop in longest_match(). Other
benchmarks I tried were mostly neutral.
This changes register allocation in subtle ways, update the tests for it.
2012-02-20-MachineCPBug.ll was deleted as it's very fragile and the instruction
it looked for was gone already (but the FileCheck pattern picked up unrelated
stuff).
