Previously, the GCN tracker only monitored virtual registers, leading to inaccurate register pressure estimates and sub-optimal scheduling decisions when physical registers were present. This patch adds support for tracking physical registers in GCN trackers. Virtual and physical register tracking are maintained separately. Similar to virtual LiveRegs, physical LiveRegs are now maintained. The tracking flow closely follows that of the GCN trackers in the recede, advance, and pressure-increment methods.

Tracking physical registers leads to better register allocation, no more allocation failures, and more accurate pressure estimates. Existing tests have been updated to reflect the above. A new test schedule-gcn-physreg-pressure has been added that validates physical register tracking across multiple scenarios.
