Nick Desaulniers 778a48468b [InlineAsm] Steal a bit to denote a register is foldable (#70738) ...

When using the inline asm constraint string "rm" (or "g"), we generally
would like the compiler to choose "r", but it is permitted to choose "m"
if there's register pressure. This is distinct from "r" in which the
register is not permitted to be spilled to the stack.

The decision of which to use must be made at some point.  Currently, the
instruction selection frameworks (ISELs) make the choice, and the
register allocators had better be able to handle the result.

Steal a bit from Storage when using register operands to disambiguate
between the two cases.  Add helpers/getters/setters, and print in MIR
when such a register is foldable.

The getter will later be used by the register allocation frameworks (and
asserted by the ISELs) while the setters will be used by the instruction
selection frameworks.
