Amara Emerson 146882242f [GlobalISel][Localizer] Rewrite localizer to run in 2 phases, inter & intra block.
Inter-block localization is the same as what currently happens, except now it
only runs on the entry block because that's where the problematic constants with
long live ranges come from.

The second phase is a new intra-block localization phase which attempts to
re-sink the already localized instructions further right before one of the
multiple uses.

One additional change is to also localize G_GLOBAL_VALUE as they're constants
too. However, on some targets like arm64 it takes multiple instructions to
materialize the value, so some additional heuristics with a TTI hook have been
introduced attempt to prevent code size regressions when localizing these.

Overall, these changes improve CTMark code size on arm64 by 1.2%.

Full code size results:

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
