[AMDGPU] New method to estimate register pressure

This change introduces new method to estimate register pressure in
GCNScheduler. Standard RPTracker gives huge error due to the following
reasons:

1. It does not account for live-ins or live-outs if value is not used
in the region itself. That creates a huge error in a very common case
if there are a lot of live-thu registers.
2. It does not properly count subregs.
3. It assumes a register used as an input operand can be reused as an
output. This is not always possible by itself, this is not what RA
will finally do in many cases for various reasons not limited to RA's
inability to do so, and this is not so if the value is actually a
live-thu.

In addition we can now see clear separation between live-in pressure
which we cannot change with the scheduling and tentative pressure
which we can change.
