Allow coalescing with reserved physregs in certain cases:

When a virtual register has a single value that is defined as a copy of a
reserved register, permit that copy to be joined. These virtual register are
usually copies of the stack pointer:

  %vreg75<def> = COPY %ESP; GR32:%vreg75
  MOV32mr %vreg75, 1, %noreg, 0, %noreg, %vreg74<kill>
  MOV32mi %vreg75, 1, %noreg, 8, %noreg, 0
  MOV32mi %vreg75<kill>, 1, %noreg, 4, %noreg, 0
  CALLpcrel32 ...

Coalescing these virtual registers early decreases register pressure.
Previously, they were coalesced by RALinScan::attemptTrivialCoalescing after
register allocation was completed.

The lower register pressure causes the mcinst-lowering-cmp0.ll test case to fail
because it depends on linear scan spilling a particular register.

I am deleting 2008-08-05-SpillerBug.ll because it is counting the number of
instructions emitted, and its revision history shows the 'correct' count being
edited many times.
