add 'MustReduceDepth' as an objective/cost-metric for the MachineCombiner

This is one of the problems noted in PR25016:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25016
and:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-October/090998.html

The spilling problem is independent and not addressed by this patch.

The MachineCombiner was doing reassociations that don't improve or even worsen the critical path. 
This is caused by inclusion of the "slack" factor when calculating the critical path of the original
code sequence. If we don't add that, then we have a more conservative cost comparison of the old code
sequence vs. a new sequence. The more liberal calculation must be preserved, however, for the AArch64
MULADD patterns because benchmark regressions were observed without that.

The two failing test cases now have identical asm that does what we want:
a + b + c + d ---> (a + b) + (c + d)
