042888db2b Convert RAGreedy to LiveRegMatrix interference checking.
Stop depending on the LiveIntervalUnions in RegAllocBase, they are about
to be removed.

The changes are mostly replacing register alias iterators with regunit
iterators, and querying LiveRegMatrix instrad of RegAllocBase.

InterferenceCache is converted to work with per-regunit
LiveIntervalUnions, and it checks fixed regunit interference separately,
using the fixed live intervals provided by LiveIntervalAnalysis.

The local splitting helper calcGapWeights() is also considering fixed
regunit interference which is kept on the side now.

eb06b0b6aa Accept null PhysReg arguments to checkRegMaskInterference.
Calling checkRegMaskInterference(VirtReg) checks if VirtReg crosses any
regmask operands, regardless of the registers they clobber.

8879480ed7 Sketch a LiveRegMatrix analysis pass.
The LiveRegMatrix represents the live range of assigned virtual
registers in a Live interval union per register unit. This is not
fundamentally different from the interference tracking in RegAllocBase
that both RABasic and RAGreedy use.

The important differences are:

- LiveRegMatrix tracks interference per register unit instead of per
  physical register. This makes interference checks cheaper and
  assignments slightly more expensive. For example, the ARM D7 reigster
  has 24 aliases, so we would check 24 physregs before assigning to one.
  With unit-based interference, we check 2 units before assigning to 2
  units.

- LiveRegMatrix caches regmask interference checks. That is currently
  duplicated functionality in RABasic and RAGreedy.

- LiveRegMatrix is a pass which makes it possible to insert
  target-dependent passes between register allocation and rewriting.
  Such passes could tweak the register assignments with interference
  checking support from LiveRegMatrix.

Eventually, RABasic and RAGreedy will be switched to LiveRegMatrix.
