Predicate registers can be written from the scalar ALU by using a special cat2 encoding: if the dst is encoded as a0.c, the instruction will execute on the scalar ALU and write to p0.c. This commit makes the ir3 backend aware of scalar predicates. A new register flag (IR3_REG_UNIFORM) is added that can be used to mark predicate dsts as being written by the scalar ALU. For such dsts, the same synchronization rules apply as for shared registers written by the scalar ALU (e.g., (ss) is needed to read them from the vector ALU). Scalar predicates can be used in the early preamble, which makes control flow available there. In many ways, the backend treats IR3_REG_UNIFORM the same as IR3_REG_SHARED. A new flag was added because IR3_REG_SHARED is mainly used to denote a separate register file, not as a flag to indicate usage by the scalar ALU. Scalar predicates still use the normal predicate register file but allow it to be written from the scalar ALU.
