Add all constant physical registers to callee preserved masks
This allows MachineCopyPropagation to eliminate copies of constant registers such as zero registers. They were previously not being eliminated as the check for MO.clobbersPhysReg(AvailSrc) would return true for constant registers such as MIPS $zero. To avoid having to manually add the zero registers to all CalleeSavedRegs instantiations in tablegen, I instead added a new isConstant bit to the Register and set this for MIPS, RISC-V, and AArch64 zero registers. RegisterInfoEmitter.cpp looks at this flag and adds all constant registers to the preserved register mask. This may also benefit other passes but so far I have only seen differences in MachineCopyPropagation. In the future it might make sense to generate `isConstantPhysReg()` from this information.
