[DebugInfo][InstrRef] Only calculate IDF for reg units
In D110173 we start using the existing LLVM IDF calculator to place PHIs as we reconstruct an SSA form of machine-code program. Sadly that's slower than the old (but broken) way, this patch attempts to recover some of that performance. The key observation: every time we def a register, we also have to def it's register units. If we def'd $rax, in the current implementation we independently calculate PHI locations for {al, ah, ax, eax, hax, rax}, and they will all have the same PHI positions. Instead of doing that, we can calculate the PHI positions for {al, ah} and place PHIs for any aliasing registers in the same positions. Any def of a super-register has to def the unit, and vice versa, so this is sound. It cuts down the SSA placement we need to do significantly. This doesn't work for stack slots, or registers we only ever read, so place PHIs normally for those. LiveDebugValues choses to ignore writes to SP at calls, and now have to ignore writes to SP register units too. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D111627
