Change the meaning of 'x' in a transformation
The purpose of this series of commits is to improve code generation for the Clang compiler. As a first step we want to change the meaning of 'x' in a transformation such as: operation Literal=q => move Literal x | operation x Currently, a plain 'x' means reg[0] or x(0), which is the first element in the X register array. That element is distinct from r(0) which is a variable in process_main(). Therefore, since r(0) and x(0) are currently distinct it is fine to use x(0) as a scratch register. However, in the next commit we will eliminate the separate variable for storing the contents of X register zero (thus, x(0) and r(0) will point to the same location in the X register array). Therefore, we must use another scratch register in transformation. Redefine a plain 'x' in a transformation to mean x(1023). Also define SCRATCH_X_REG so that we can refer to the register by name from C code.
