Pierre van Houtryve 9375962ac9 [TableGen][GlobalISel] Specialize more MatchTable Opcodes (#89736)
The vast majority of the following (very common) opcodes were always
called with identical arguments:

- `GIM_CheckType` for the root
- `GIM_CheckRegBankForClass` for the root
- `GIR_Copy` between the old and new root
- `GIR_ConstrainSelectedInstOperands` on the new root
- `GIR_BuildMI` to create the new root

I added overloaded version of each opcode specialized for the root
instructions. It always saves between 1 and 2 bytes per instance
depending on the number of arguments specialized into the opcode. Some
of these opcodes had between 5 and 15k occurences in the AArch64
GlobalISel Match Table.

Additionally, the following opcodes are almost always used in the same
sequence:

- `GIR_EraseFromParent 0` + `GIR_Done` 
- `GIR_EraseRootFromParent_Done` has been created to do both. Saves 2
bytes per occurence.
- `GIR_IsSafeToFold` was *always* called for each InsnID except 0.
- Changed the opcode to take the number of instructions to check after
`MI[0]`

The savings from these are pretty neat. For `AArch64GenGlobalISel.inc`:
- `AArch64InstructionSelector.cpp.o` goes down from 772kb to 704kb (-10%
code size)
- Self-reported MatchTable size goes from 420380 bytes to 352426 bytes
(~ -17%)

A smaller match table means a faster match table because we spend less
time iterating and decoding.
I don't have a solid measurement methodology for GlobalISel performance
so I don't have precise numbers but I saw a few % of improvements in a
simple testcase.
