Cherry Zhang 6b8e3e2d06 cmd/compile: reduce redundant register moves for regabi calls
Currently, if we have AX=a and BX=b, and we want to make a call
F(1, a, b), to move arguments into the desired registers it emits

	MOVQ AX, CX
	MOVL $1, AX // AX=1
	MOVQ BX, DX
	MOVQ CX, BX // BX=a
	MOVQ DX, CX // CX=b

This has a few redundant moves.

This is because we process inputs in order. First, allocate 1 to
AX, which kicks out a (in AX) to CX (a free register at the
moment). Then, allocate a to BX, which kicks out b (in BX) to DX.
Finally, put b to CX.

Notice that if we start with allocating CX=b, then BX=a, AX=1,
we will not have redundant moves. This CL reduces redundant moves
by allocating them in different order: First, for inpouts that are
already in place, keep them there. Then allocate free registers.
Then everything else.
