Implement access to spill slots at offsets larger than 16 bits. Also allocation and deallocation of spill slots was restricted to 16 bit offsets. Now 32 bit offsets are supported on all PowerPC platforms. The implementation of 32 bit offsets requires more than one instruction but the native code generator wants one instruction. So we implement pseudo-instructions that are pretty printed into multiple assembly instructions. With pseudo-instructions for spill slot allocation and deallocation we can also implement handling of the back chain pointer according to the ELF ABIs. Test Plan: validate (especially on powerpc (32 bit)) Reviewers: bgamari, austin, erikd Reviewed By: erikd Subscribers: thomie Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1296 GHC Trac Issues: #7830
