PPC/s390: [Liftoff] Improve initialization for many locals
Port a8cdda99 Original Commit Message: WebAssembly locals are specified to be zero on function entry. Liftoff implements this by just storing the constant 0 in the virtual stack for integer types, and using one floating point register initialized to zero for all floating point types. For big counts of locals this leads to problems (manifesting as huge blocks of code being generated) once we hit a merge point: All those constants (for int) and all duplicate register uses (for floats) need to be fixed up, by using separate registers for the locals or spilling to the stack if no more registers are available. All this spilling generates a lot of code, and can even happen multiple times within a function. This CL optimizes for such cases by spilling all locals to the stack initially. All merges within the function body get much smaller then. The spilled values rarely have to be loaded anyway, because the initial zero value is usually overwritten before the first use. To optimize the code size for initializing big numbers of locals on the stack, this CL also introduces the platform-specific {FillStackSlotsWithZero} method which uses a loop for bigger local counts. This often saves dozens of kilobytes for very big functions, and shows an overall code size reduction of 4-5 percent for big modules.
