This patch is a first step towards target independent tests for the
CodeGenerator's AssembleMove and AssembleSwap methods.
The tests on top of which this builds would only make sure that no assertions
were triggered while generating moves, and that the hardware is happy executing
them. We want to do more and check that the generated code performs correctly.
In a nutshell, this introduces a facility that can do the following:
- Setup an environment with registers and stack slots initialised with random
values.
- Perform a list of randomly generated moves and/or swaps on those.
- Return the resulting environment.
This is a first step and therefore is lacking a few things which will be
implemented as follow-ups:
- Support for kSimd128 moves and swaps.
- Support large offsets for stack moves, as well as positive and negative.
- Compare the resulting environment against the result of a reference
simulation.
