This commit is a result of the investigation on #7085. The int-to-float conversion instructions used right now on the x64 backend will implicitly source the upper bits of the result from a different register. This implicitly creates a dependency on further consumers using the conversion result on whatever previously defined the upper bits, even though they aren't used. This false dependency is the primary reason for the slowdown witnessed in #7085.
The fix chosen in this commit is to model the int-to-float instructions with a new shape of instruction instead of the previous
GprToXmm{,Vex}. This previous shape was modeled as single-input and single-output, but this does not reflect the actual nature of thecvtsi2s{s,d}instructions. Instead these now useCvtIntToFloat{,Vex}which have two source operands and one destination operand, modeling how the upper bits of a different register are used. In lowerings using this instruction the upper bits to preserver are always sourced from a zero'd out register to force breaking dependencies between instructions.Closes #7085

LGTM with changes; I think some of the regalloc metadata (or uses of it) is out-of-order.

I think these might be flipped -- the order in the regalloc metadata method below is src1, dst, src2 (since dst is a reuse-def)?

I think these are flipped -- it won't matter here since they must be equal but we should match the order in the metadata method regardless.

We could note here that a mid-end rule could rewrite
fcvt_from_sintand friends to an x86-specific opcode that uses a zero constant, then that would be subject to normal LICM and whatnot.

I guess the reason we can't use an existing format above is that the sources are Xmm and GprMem rather than, say, Xmm/XmmMem or Gpr/GprMem? Could we have a comment here noting that?
