Add an option to use a virtual register as the global base register instead of

reserving a physical register ($gp or $28) for that purpose.

This will completely eliminate loads that restore the value of $gp after every
function call, if the register allocator assigns a callee-saved register, or
eliminate unnecessary loads if it assigns a temporary register. 

example:

.cpload $25       // set $gp.
...
.cprestore 16     // store $gp to stack slot 16($sp).
...
jalr $25          // function call. clobbers $gp.
lw $gp, 16($sp)   // not emitted if callee-saved reg is chosen.
...
lw $2, 4($gp)
...
jalr $25          // function call.
lw $gp, 16($sp)   // not emitted if $gp is not live after this instruction.
...
