Lionel Landwerlin e5dfff0946 intel/fs: reduce liveness of variables in lowering passes
When lowering a single instruction with a destination VGRF to 2 or
more, the VGRF is now considered partially written by each generated
instruction and that increases its liveness especially in loops. Thus
potentially increasing the number of spills/fills due to register
allocation.

Putting an UNDEF instruction in front of the lowered instructions
allows the IR to limit the liveness of the VGRF, reducing register
pressure.

This has a pretty dramatic effect on spills/fills for RT shaders. Here
the stats on Q2RTX shaders on DG2 (wipping out any spills/fills due to
register allocation) :

Instructions in all programs: 26150 -> 24955 (-4.6%)
SENDs in all programs: 1148 -> 1148 (+0.0%)
Loops in all programs: 4 -> 4 (+0.0%)
Cycles in all programs: 392179 -> 332787 (-15.1%)
Spills in all programs: 132 -> 116 (-12.1%)
Fills in all programs: 262 -> 154 (-41.2%)
