    RegAlloc superpass: includes phi elimination, coalescing, and scheduling. · d3f8fe81

    Creates a configurable regalloc pipeline.
    
    Ensure specific llc options do what they say and nothing more: -reglloc=... has no effect other than selecting the allocator pass itself. This patch introduces a new umbrella flag, "-optimize-regalloc", to enable/disable the optimizing regalloc "superpass". This allows for example testing coalscing and scheduling under -O0 or vice-versa.
    
    When a CodeGen pass requires the MachineFunction to have a particular property, we need to explicitly define that property so it can be directly queried rather than naming a specific Pass. For example, to check for SSA, use MRI->isSSA, not addRequired<PHIElimination>.
    
    CodeGen transformation passes are never "required" as an analysis
    
    ProcessImplicitDefs does not require LiveVariables.
    
    We have a plan to massively simplify some of the early passes within the regalloc superpass.
