Introduce swap_temp/3 and swap/2
Sequences of three move instructionst that effectively swap the
contents of two registers are fairly common. We can replace them
with a swap_temp/3 instruction. The third operand is the temporary
register to be used for swapping, since the temporary register
may actually be used.
If swap_temp/3 instruction is followed by a call, the temporary
register will often (but not always) be killed by the call. If
it is killed, we can replace the swap_temp/3 instruction with a
slightly cheaper swap/2 instruction.
