Revert "Refactor recomputeLiveIns to operate on whole CFG (#79498)"

This reverts commit 59bf60519fc30d9d36c86abd83093b068f6b1e4b.

Introduces a major compile-time regression.

Refactor recomputeLiveIns to operate on whole CFG (#79498)

Currently, the way that recomputeLiveIns works is that it will recompute
the livein registers for that MachineBasicBlock but it matters what
order you call recomputeLiveIn which can result in incorrect register
allocations down the line.

This PR fixes that by simply recomputing the liveins for the entire CFG
until convergence is achieved. This makes it harder to introduce subtle
bugs which alter liveness.

[ARM] Add a tail-predication loop predicate register

[ARM] Add a tail-predication loop predicate register

The semantics of tail predication loops means that the value of LR as an
instruction is executed determines the predicate. In other words:

mov r3, #3
DLSTP lr, r3 // Start tail predication, lr==3
VADD.s32 q0, q1, q2 // Lanes 0,1 and 2 are updated in q0.
mov lr, #1
VADD.s32 q0, q1, q2 // Only first lane is updated.

This means that the value of lr cannot be spilled and re-used in tail
predication regions without potentially altering the behaviour of the
program. More lanes than required could be stored, for example, and in
the case of a gather those lanes might not have been setup, leading to
alignment exceptions.

This patch adds a new lr predicate operand to MVE instructions in order
to keep a reference to the lr that they use as a tail predicate. It will
usually hold the zeroreg meaning not predicated, being set to the LR phi
value in the MVETPAndVPTOptimisationsPass. This will prevent it from
being spilled anywhere that it needs to be used.

A lot of tests needed updating.

[ARM] Remove DLS lr, lr

A DLS lr, lr instruction only moves lr to itself. It need not be emitted
on it's own to save a instruction in the loop preheader.

[ARM] Alter t2DoLoopStart to define lr

This changes the definition of t2DoLoopStart from
t2DoLoopStart rGPR
to
GPRlr = t2DoLoopStart rGPR

This will hopefully mean that low overhead loops are more tied together,
and we can more reliably generate loops without reverting or being at
the whims of the register allocator.

This is a fairly simple change in itself, but leads to a number of other
required alterations.

- The hardware loop pass, if UsePhi is set, now generates loops of the
form:
%start = llvm.start.loop.iterations(%N)
loop:
%p = phi [%start], [%dec]
%dec = llvm.loop.decrement.reg(%p, 1)
%c = icmp ne %dec, 0
br %c, loop, exit
- For this a new llvm.start.loop.iterations intrinsic was added, identical
to llvm.set.loop.iterations but produces a value as seen above, gluing
the loop together more through def-use chains.
- This new instrinsic conceptually produces the same output as input,
which is taught to SCEV so that the checks in MVETailPredication are not
affected.
- Some minor changes are needed to the ARMLowOverheadLoop pass, but it has
been left mostly as before. We should now more reliably be able to tell
that the t2DoLoopStart is correct without having to prove it, but
t2WhileLoopStart and tail-predicated loops will remain the same.
- And all the tests have been updated. There are a lot of them!

This patch on it's own might cause more trouble that it helps, with more
tail-predicated loops being reverted, but some additional patches can
hopefully improve upon that to get to something that is better overall.
