I just moved the responsibility for updating LiveStacks into the spillers.

The implementation in the standard spiller is a bit too conservative since nobody knows when it spills and when it splits.

The implementation in InlineSpiller only updates LiveStacks after splitting and rematerialization is complete, so it should provide near minimal LiveStacks.

If the LiveStacks are minimal, it is fine to calculate them on the fly, right? Or du you have a reason for wanting to compute them after allocation?
