Since Gen8+ Intel PRM states that "r127 must not be used for return
address when there is a src and dest overlap in send instruction."
This patch implements this restriction creating new grf127_send_hack_node
at the register allocator. This node has a fixed assignation to grf127.
For vgrf that are used as destination of send messages we create node
interfereces with the grf127_send_hack_node. So the register allocator
will never assign to these vgrf a register that involves grf127.
If dispatch_width > 8 we don't create these interferences to the because
all instructions have node interferences between sources and destination.
That is enough to avoid the r127 restriction.
This fixes CTS tests that raised this issue as they were executed as SIMD8:

v2: Avoid duplicating register classes without grf127. Let's use a node
with a fixed assignation to grf127 and create interferences to send
message vgrf destinations. (Eric Anholt)
v3: Update reference to CTS VK_KHR_8bit_storage failing tests.
