[cc] Fix alignment, regalloc, and SSA lowering bugs

- codegen: Use natural ABI alignment for globals instead of forced
  16-byte minimum for arrays (fixes assembler rejection of 65536
  alignment values)
- regalloc: Add spill_args_across_constraints() to spill function
  arguments in registers that would be clobbered by constraint points
  (e.g., Rcx used for variable shifts)
- dce: Compute unreachable set before removing blocks, clean phi_list
  entries referencing removed blocks
- linearize: Use current_bb instead of cond_bb after linearizing loop
  conditions (fixes block linking when conditions use && or ||)
- lower: Implement parallel copy sequentialization for phi elimination
  to handle the "lost copy" problem; skip copies from undef sources
