[MachineRegisterInfo] Track register bank for virtual registers.
A virtual register may have either a register bank or a register class. This is represented by a PointerUnion between the related classes. Typically, a virtual register went through the following states regarding register class and register bank: 1. Creation: None is set. Virtual registers are fully generic. 2. Register bank assignment: Register bank is set. Virtual registers live into a register bank, but we do not know the constraints they need to fulfil. 3. Instruction selection: Register class is set. Virtual registers are bound by encoding constraints. To map these states to GlobalISel, the IRTranslator implements #1, RegBankSelect #2, and Select #3. llvm-svn: 265696
