This is a prototype of an experimental register allocation

framework. It's purpose is not to improve register allocation per se,
but to make it easier to develop powerful live range splitting. I call
it the basic allocator because it is as simple as a global allocator
can be but provides the building blocks for sophisticated register
allocation with live range splitting. 

A minimal implementation is provided that trivially spills whenever it
runs out of registers. I'm checking in now to get high-level design
and style feedback. I've only done minimal testing. The next step is
implementing a "greedy" allocation algorithm that does some register
reassignment and makes better splitting decisions.
