This is changes the interface of CodeBuffer to that of a partially persistent
data structure based on reference counting:
- Exactly one CodeBuffer is now designated as "active", which means data can
be *appended* to it
- Lossy modifications to the active CodeBuffer will not invalidate any data
in use by other threads, which enables save sharing across threads
- Instead, such lossy modifications trigger a new "version" of the data in
the modifying thread. Old versions of the CodeBuffer persist as read-only
data for use by the other threads.
- The other threads can update their version of the CodeBuffer. This will
decrease the reference count and eventually trigger deallocation of the
old version
This data isn't really a cache, since the JIT is directly responsible of
writing its contents. Instead it be considered the source to populate the
L1/L2 caches from.
Furthermore, splitting off this data allows it to be shared across threads
in the future without affecting L1/L2 caches.
as a simple post-RA peephole. much much easier to do post-RA than pre-RA.
This isn't a post-RA /pass/ in the traditional sense... it's done while
assigning registers to coalesce the passes over the IR, since we pay per-pass
and we can merge the walks over the IR.

lots of instructions only exist for RA, so RA can garbage collect them before
post-RA passes (including the JIT) deals with them. this simplifies our life
now, and makes post-RA passes a LOT simpler for little cost.

Remove blows up because of use tracking, but we can do a much simpler version
for post-RA and elide lots of checks from trying to make Remove more general.

Now that we can just set registers directly, we can simplify RA a lot. All the
Map/Unmap nonsense - it all goes away. We just assign registers as we go and
everything clicks into place naturally.

This sideband is now unused, registers are encoded directly in the IR. So we can
garbage collect all this code for quite some savings.

Beyond the actual registers allocated, there are two pieces of sideband data we
store in the RAData object:
* # of spill slots (explicitly)
* whether RA has run (implicitly by the existence of RAData)
We want to get rid of RAData, so we'll move these to the header.

this will let us encode registers directly inside OrderedNodeWrapper, rather
than pointers to OrderedNode *. that will let us speed up RA & onwards.
