Performance improvements linear regAlloc (#7258)
When allocating and potentially spilling registers, we need to check the desired allocations against current allocations to decide where we can spill to, cq. which allocations we can toss and if so, how. Previously, this was done by walking the Cartesian product of the current allocations (`assig`) and the allocations to keep (`keep`), which has quadratic complexity. This patch introduces two improvements: 1. pre-filter the `assig` list, because we are only interested in two types of allocations (in register, and in register+memory), which will only make up a small and constant portion of the list; and 2. use set / map operations instead of lists, which reduces algorithmic complexity.
