Mark rematerialized super/sub registers as dead.

When we're rematerializing into a not-quite-right register we already add the
real definition as an imp-def, but we should also be marking the "official"
register as dead, since nothing else is going to use it as a result of this
remat.

Not doing this can affect pressure tracking.
