Add a MinNumRegs argument to MRI::constrainRegClass().

The function will refuse to use a register class with fewer registers
than MinNumRegs.  This can be used by clients to avoid accidentally
increase register pressure too much.

The default value of MinNumRegs=0 doesn't affect how constrainRegClass()
works.
