Refactor '%live' and '%def' annotations
The annotations in the optimizing passes currently looks like this: {'%live',NumRegistersUsed,RegistersUsedBitmap} {'%def',RegistersDefinedBitmap} (NumRegistersUsed is no longer used.) When I attempted to extend some optimizations, I found that I had to add additional clauses to tolerate/handle both types of annotations. That problem would only get worse if any more annotations are added in the future. To simplify annotation handling, this commit wraps both types of annotations in a {'%anno',_} tuple: {'%anno',{used,RegistersUsedBitmap}} {'%anno',{def,RegistersDefinedBitmap}} The '%live' annotation has been renamed to 'used' to make it somewhat clearer what it means, and the unused NumRegistersUsed part of the old annotation has been removed. Alternatives considered: My first attempt was to wrap the annotation in a 'set' tuple so that there would only be 'set' tuples in a block. For example: {set,[],[],{anno,{live,RegistersUsedBitmap}}} It was not as convenient as expected. Annotations often need to be handled specially from other instructions in a block. When they are wrapped in a 'set' tuple, they can very easily be handled incorrectly or passed on to the next pass. That causes subtle errors or worse code, and it can be difficult to debug. Therefore, my conclusion is that annotations should be distinct from other instructions, to make it obvious when one have missed to handle an annotation.
