Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [CodeGen] Finish untangling LRE::scanRemattable [nfc]
This is an attempt to simplify the rematerialization logic in
InlineSpiller and SplitKit.  I'd earlier done the same for
RegisterCoalescer in 57b673.
The basic idea of this change is that we don't need to check
whether an instruction is rematerializable early.  Instead,
we can defer the check to the point where we're actually
trying to materialize something.  We also don't need to
indirect that query through a VNI key, and can instead
just check the instruction directly at the use site.
I would appreciate careful review on this one.  I have a bad
feeling that I might be misssing something subtle here.  In the
same area of code, I recently tried to strengthen asserts and
hit a very subtle interaction with removing dead remats.  That
case is properly addressed and commented in this patch, but there
might be something else.  One worry is compile time; I don't
directly see how checking the remat callback on each def's use
(instead of once per def) is going to be expensive compared to
code which is already walking all of those uses, but maybe
I'm missing a case?
