59d7c14eef tcg: Optimize spills of constants
While we can store constants via constrants on INDEX_op_st_i32 et al,
we weren't able to spill constants to backing store.

Add a new backend interface, tcg_out_sti, which may store the constant
(and is allowed to fail).  Rearrange the temp_* helpers so that we only
attempt to directly store a constant when the temp is becoming dead/free.

f309101c26 tcg: Clean up direct block chaining data fields
Briefly describe in a comment how direct block chaining is done. It
should help in understanding of the following data fields.

Rename some fields in TranslationBlock and TCGContext structures to
better reflect their purpose (dropping excessive 'tb_' prefix in
TranslationBlock but keeping it in TCGContext):
   tb_next_offset  =>  jmp_reset_offset
   tb_jmp_offset   =>  jmp_insn_offset
   tb_next         =>  jmp_target_addr
   jmp_next        =>  jmp_list_next
   jmp_first       =>  jmp_list_first

Avoid using a magic constant as an invalid offset which is used to
indicate that there's no n-th jump generated.

eabb7b91b3 tcg: use tcg_debug_assert instead of assert (fix performance regression)
The TCG code is quite performance sensitive, but at the same time can
also be quite tricky. That is why asserts that can be enabled with the
--enable-debug-tcg configure option.

This used to work the following way:

| #include "config.h"
|
| ...
|
| #if !defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG) && !defined(NDEBUG)
| /* define it to suppress various consistency checks (faster) */
| #define NDEBUG
| #endif
|
| ...
|
| #include <assert.h>

Since commit 757e725b (tcg: Clean up includes) "config.h" as been
replaced by "qemu/osdep.h" which itself includes <assert.h>. As a
consequence the assertions are always enabled, even when using
--disable-debug-tcg, causing a performance regression, especially on
targets with many registers. For instance on qemu-system-ppc the
speed difference is about 15%.

tcg_debug_assert is controlled directly by CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG and already
uses in some places. This patch replaces all the calls to assert into
calss to tcg_debug_assert.

ce15110981 tcg: Rename tcg-target.c to tcg-target.inc.c
Rename the per-architecture tcg-target.c files to tcg-target.inc.c.
This makes it clearer that they are not intended to be standalone
C files, but are instead #included into another source file.
