[SystemZ] Add instruction-shortening pass

When loading immediates into a GR32, the port prefered LHI, followed by
LLILH or LLILL, followed by IILF.  LHI and IILF are natural 32-bit
operations, but LLILH and LLILL also clear the upper 32 bits of the register.
This was represented as taking a 32-bit subreg of a 64-bit assignment.

Using subregs for something as simple as a move immediate was probably
a bad idea.  Also, I have patches to add support for the high-word facility, 
and we don't want something like LLILH and LLILL to stop the high word of
the same GPR from being used.

This patch therefore uses LHI and IILF to begin with and adds a late
machine-specific pass to use LLILH and LLILL if the other half of the
register is not live.  The high-word patches extend this behavior to
IIHF, LLIHL and LLIHH.

No behavioral change intended.
