Teach the local spiller to turn stack slot loads into register-register copies

when possible, avoiding the load (and avoiding the copy if the value is already
in the right register).

This patch came about when I noticed code like the following being generated:

  store R17 -> [SS1]
  ...blah...
  R4 = load [SS1]

This was causing an LSU reject on the G5.  This problem was due to the register
allocator folding spill code into a reg-reg copy (producing the load), which
prevented the spiller from being able to rewrite the load into a copy, despite
the fact that the value was already available in a register.  In the case
above, we now rip out the R4 load and replace it with a R4 = R17 copy.

This speeds up several programs on X86 (which spills a lot :) ), e.g.
smg2k from 22.39->20.60s, povray from 12.93->12.66s, 168.wupwise from
68.54->53.83s (!), 197.parser from 7.33->6.62s (!), etc.  This may have a larger
impact in some cases on the G5 (by avoiding LSU rejects), though it probably
won't trigger as often (less spilling in general).

Targets that implement folding of loads/stores into copies should implement
the isLoadFromStackSlot hook to get this.
