HiPE has had metadata for gc safety on it's temporaries for a while, but
it has never been enforced or even checked, so naturally several
gc-safety violations has slipped through.
A new pass, hipe_rtl_verify_gcsafe verifies gcsafety on optimised RTL
and is used when running the testsuite, and can be manually enabled with
+{hipe,[verify_gcsafe]}.

branch and alub overlap in their use cases, but the backends rely on
knowing that the result is unused in their lowering of branch. By
extending alub so that the destination is optional, it can fully replace
branch.
This simplifies rtl by reducing code duplication and the number of
instructions.
Also, in the x86 and arm backends, we can now use 'test' and
{'tst','mvn','teq'} to lower some alubs without destinations. This is
particularly good for x86, as sequences such as 'is_boxed' type tests
now get shorter (both from not needing a mov to copy the variable, but
also from the fact that 'testb' encodes shorter than 'andq').

hipe_rtl:phi_remove_pred/2 can produce a #move{} instruction with
floating-point temporaries as operands, even though such moves MUST
be #fmove{} instructions.
Added type checks to the #move{} and #fmove{} constructor and setter
functions to ensure that similar mishaps cannot happen again.

Extend the 'rtl_var' definition to host liveness information needed for
a simple liveness analysis performed by the LLVM backend.
Also, uncomment some function definitions (mostly simple accessors) that
are already there and are useful for the translation of RTL code to LLVM
assembly.
Finally, extend the RTL 'call' instruction with the 'normalcontinuation'
field which is required for translating calls that are in the scope of
an exception handler. This extra field is required in order to point to
a new basic block which will hold the 'unwind label' of LLVM's invoke
instruction. While the 'unwind label' is semantically equivalent with
the 'failcontinuation', in LLVM this block must have a 'landingpad'
instruction. The problem arises by the fact that an RTL 'continuation'
block can also be accessible by other paths in the RTL CFG, and so
cannot be marked as a landing pad. To overcome this issue we create a
new block (the 'normalcontinuation') which is used as the 'unwind label'
of LLVM's invoke instruction and which will eventually transfer control
to the 'continuation' block.
