[Stackmap] Liveness Analysis Pass

This optional register liveness analysis pass can be enabled with either
-enable-stackmap-liveness, -enable-patchpoint-liveness, or both. The pass
traverses each basic block in a machine function. For each basic block the
instructions are processed in reversed order and if a patchpoint or stackmap
instruction is encountered the current live-out register set is encoded as a
register mask and attached to the instruction.

Later on during stackmap generation the live-out register mask is processed and
also emitted as part of the stackmap.

This information is optional and intended for optimization purposes only. This
will enable a client of the stackmap to reason about the registers it can use
and which registers need to be preserved.
