Jakob Stoklund Olesen f1d015f342 Use ArrayRecycler for MachineInstr operand lists.
Instead of an std::vector<MachineOperand>, use MachineOperand arrays
from an ArrayRecycler living in MachineFunction.

This has several advantages:

- MachineInstr now has a trivial destructor, making it possible to
  delete them in batches when destroying MachineFunction. This will be
  enabled in a later patch.

- Bypassing malloc() and free() can be faster, depending on the system
  library.

- MachineInstr objects and their operands are allocated from the same
  BumpPtrAllocator, so they will usually be next to each other in
  memory, providing better locality of reference.

- Reduce MachineInstr footprint. A std::vector is 24 bytes, the new
  operand array representation only uses 8+4+1 bytes in MachineInstr.

- Better control over operand array reallocations. In the old
  representation, the use-def chains would be reordered whenever a
  std::vector reached its capacity. The new implementation never changes
  the use-def chain order.

Note that some decisions in the code generator depend on the use-def
chain orders, so this patch may cause different assembly to be produced
in a few cases.
