Instead of writing boolean values temporarily into 32-bit VGPRs
if they are involved in PHIs or are observed from outside a loop,
we use bitwise masking operations to combine lane masks in a way
that is consistent with wave control flow.
Move SIFixSGPRCopies to before this pass, since that pass
incorrectly attempts to move SGPR phis to VGPRs.
This should recover most of the code quality that was lost with
the bug fix in "AMDGPU: Remove PHI loop condition optimization".
There are still some relevant cases where code quality could be
improved, in particular:
- We often introduce redundant masks with EXEC. Ideally, we'd have a generic computeKnownBits-like analysis to determine whether masks are already masked by EXEC, so we can avoid this masking both here and when lowering uniform control flow.
- The criterion we use to determine whether a def is observed from outside a loop is conservative: it doesn't check whether (loop) branch conditions are uniform.

Could we avoid still having VReg_1 by checking for i1 source instructions?
