Chad Rosier b7110cf5b5 Improve the compression of the tablegen DiffLists by introducing a new sort
algorithm when assigning EnumValues to the synthesized registers.

The current algorithm, LessRecord, uses the StringRef compare_numeric
function.  This function compares strings, while handling embedded numbers.
For example, the R600 backend registers are sorted as follows:

  T1
  T1_W
  T1_X
  T1_XYZW
  T1_Y
  T1_Z
  T2
  T2_W
  T2_X
  T2_XYZW
  T2_Y
  T2_Z

In this example, the 'scaling factor' is dEnum/dN = 6 because T0, T1, T2
have an EnumValue offset of 6 from one another.  However, in other parts
of the register bank, the scaling factors are different:

dEnum/dN = 5:
  KC0_128_W
  KC0_128_X
  KC0_128_XYZW
  KC0_128_Y
  KC0_128_Z
  KC0_129_W
  KC0_129_X
  KC0_129_XYZW
  KC0_129_Y
  KC0_129_Z

The diff lists do not work correctly because different kinds of registers have
different 'scaling factors'.  This new algorithm, LessRecordRegister, tries to
enforce a scaling factor of 1.  For example, the registers are now sorted as
follows:

  T1
  T2
  T3
  ...
  T0_W
  T1_W
  T2_W
  ...
  T0_X
  T1_X
  T2_X
  ...
  KC0_128_W
  KC0_129_W
  KC0_130_W
  ...

For the Mips and R600 I see a 19% and 6% reduction in size, respectively.  I
did see a few small regressions, but the differences were on the order of a
few bytes (e.g., AArch64 was 16 bytes).  I suspect there will be even
greater wins for targets with larger register files.
