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.
