Keep track of which stage produced a live range, and bypass earlier stages when revisiting.

This effectively disables the 'turbo' functionality of the greedy register
allocator where all new live ranges created by splitting would be reconsidered
as if they were originals.

There are two reasons for doing this, 1. It guarantees that the algorithm
terminates. Early versions were prone to infinite looping in certain corner
cases. 2. It is a 2x speedup. We can skip a lot of unnecessary interference
checks that won't lead to good splitting anyway.

The problem is that region splitting only gets one shot, so it should probably
be changed to target multiple physical registers at once.

Local live range splitting is still 'turbo' enabled. It only accounts for a
small fraction of compile time, so it is probably not necessary to do anything
about that.
