Extend the SpillPlacement interface with two new features.

The PrefBoth constraint is used for blocks that ideally want a live-in
value both on the stack and in a register. This would be used by a block
that has a use before interference forces a spill.

Secondly, add the ChangesValue flag to BlockConstraint. This tells
SpillPlacement if a live-in value on the stack can be reused as a
live-out stack value for free. If the block redefines the virtual
register, a spill would be required for that.

This extra information will be used by SpillPlacement to more accurately
calculate spill costs when a value can exist both on the stack and in a
register.

The simplest example is a basic block that reads the virtual register,
but doesn't change its value. Spilling around such a block requires a
reload, but no spill in the block.

The spiller already knows this, but the spill placer doesn't. That can
sometimes lead to suboptimal regions.
