AMDGPU: Remove SIFixSGPRLiveRanges pass
Summary: This pass is unnecessary and overly conservative. It was motivated by situations like def %vreg0:SGPR_32 ... if-block: .. def %vreg1:SGPR_32 ... else-block: ... use %vreg0:SGPR_32 ... and similar situations with uses after the non-uniform control flow, where we are not allowed to assign %vreg0 and %vreg1 to the same physical register, even though in the original, thread/workitem-based CFG, it looks like the live ranges of these registers do not overlap. However, by the time register allocation runs, we have moved to a wave-based CFG that accurately represents the fact that the wave may run through both the if- and the else-block. So the live ranges of %vreg0 and %vreg1 already overlap even without the SIFixSGPRLiveRanges pass. In addition to proving this change correct, I have tested it with Piglit and a small number of other tests.
