Adds a minimal factory + regalloc registration for . Currently delegates to Greedy allocator. No functional change.This patch introduces a scaffold for a new register allocator option
-regalloc=segmenttree, which currently delegates to the Greedy allocator.
No functional change is intended.

Motivation:

  • Provide a separate regalloc entry point for future work on a
    segment-tree-based allocator.
  • Enable early benchmarking and integration testing under a new mode.

Implementation:

  • Added RegAllocSegmentTree.cpp / .h containing a factory function
    createRegAllocSegmentTree().
  • Registered this allocator in RegisterRegAlloc so that
    llc -regalloc=segmenttree is recognized.
  • Hooked up pass initialization in CodeGen.cpp.

Testing:

  • Verified that llc -regalloc=segmenttree produces identical codegen
    to -regalloc=greedy.

Future work:

  • This is step 1 of a planned series to implement a segment-tree-based
    register allocator, targeting O(V · R · A · S · log E) allocation time
    complexity.
