Constrain register classes instead of emitting copies.

Sometimes register class constraints are trivial, like GR32->GR32_NOSP,
or GPR->rGPR.  Teach InstrEmitter to simply constrain the virtual
register instead of emitting a copy in these cases.

Normally, these copies are handled by the coalescer.  This saves some
coalescer work.
