i965/vs: Improve live interval calculation.

This is derived from the FS visitor code for the same, but tracks each channel
separately (otherwise, some typical fill-a-channel-at-a-time patterns would
produce excessive live intervals across loops and cause spilling).

* of the coalesced MOV's source value).
*
* To resolve the conflict, immediately after calculating live intervals,
* detect dead code, nuke it, and if we changed anything, calculate again
* before returning to the caller. Now we happen to produce def[] and
