Significantly simplify this code and make it more aggressive. Instead of having

a special case hack for X86, make the hack more general: if an incoming argument
register is not used in any block other than the entry block, don't copy it to
a vreg.  This helps us compile code like this:

%struct.foo = type { int, int, [0 x ubyte] }
int %test(%struct.foo* %X) {
        %tmp1 = getelementptr %struct.foo* %X, int 0, uint 2, int 100
        %tmp = load ubyte* %tmp1                ; <ubyte> [#uses=1]
        %tmp2 = cast ubyte %tmp to int          ; <int> [#uses=1]
        ret int %tmp2
}

to:

_test:
        lbz r3, 108(r3)
        blr

instead of:

_test:
        lbz r2, 108(r3)
        or r3, r2, r2
        blr

The (dead) copy emitted to copy r3 into a vreg for extra-block uses was
increasing the live range of r3 past the load, preventing the coallescing.

This implements CodeGen/PowerPC/reg-coallesce-simple.ll
