Teach two-address pass to do some coalescing while eliminating REG_SEQUENCE

instructions.

e.g.
%reg1026<def> = VLDMQ %reg1025<kill>, 260, pred:14, pred:%reg0
%reg1027<def> = EXTRACT_SUBREG %reg1026, 6
%reg1028<def> = EXTRACT_SUBREG %reg1026<kill>, 5
...
%reg1029<def> = REG_SEQUENCE %reg1028<kill>, 5, %reg1027<kill>, 6, %reg1028, 7, %reg1027, 8, %reg1028, 9, %reg1027, 10, %reg1030<kill>, 11, %reg1032<kill>, 12

After REG_SEQUENCE is eliminated, we are left with:

%reg1026<def> = VLDMQ %reg1025<kill>, 260, pred:14, pred:%reg0
%reg1029:6<def> = EXTRACT_SUBREG %reg1026, 6
%reg1029:5<def> = EXTRACT_SUBREG %reg1026<kill>, 5

The regular coalescer will not be able to coalesce reg1026 and reg1029 because it doesn't
know how to combine sub-register indices 5 and 6. Now 2-address pass will consult the
target whether sub-registers 5 and 6 of reg1026 can be combined to into a larger
sub-register (or combined to be reg1026 itself as is the case here). If it is possible, 
it will be able to replace references of reg1026 with reg1029 + the larger sub-register
index.
