[mips] Use register scavenging with MSA.

Summary

MSA stores and loads to the stack are more likely to require an
emergency GPR spill slot due to the smaller offsets available
with those instructions.

Handle this by overestimating the size of the stack by determining
the largest offset presuming that all callee save registers are
spilled and accounting of incoming arguments when determining
whether an emergency spill slot is required.

Was the initial expression with - sign a bug/typo?

I thought this was a bug, but it's not quite.

This function was estimating the size of the stack, but doesn't account for incoming arguments. MachineFrameInfo::estimateStackSize() perfroms most of the calculations here, but doesn't account for fixed objects which represent incoming arguments or spilling all callee-saved registers.

I'll update this shortly.

Update the mechanism for estimating the size of the stack.

So now we save to the Size a "positive" size of an object with minimal index. Is it intended? Should we sum all the sizes?

D'oh. Yes, that should be +=.

LGTM with the += change.
