whitequark 8a908a7656 llvm_ir_generator: do not use 'coldcc' calling convention.
First, this calling convention doesn't actually exist in OR1K
and trying to use it in Asserts build causes an UNREACHABLE.

Second, I tried to introduce it and it does not appear to produce
any measurable benefit: not only OR1K has a ton of CSRs but also
it is quite hard, if not realistically impossible, to produce
the kind of register pressure that would be relieved by sparing
a few more CSRs for our exception raising function calls, since
temporaries don't have to be preserved before a noreturn call
and spilling over ten registers across an exceptional edge
is not something that the code we care about would do.

Third, it produces measurable drawbacks: it inflates code size
of check:* functions by adding spills. Of course, this could be
alleviated by making __artiq_raise coldcc as well, but what's
the point anyway?

ARTIQ (Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics) is a
next-generation control system for quantum information experiments. It is
developed in partnership with the Ion Storage Group at NIST, and its
applicability reaches beyond ion trapping.

The system features a high-level programming language that helps describing
complex experiments, which is compiled and executed on dedicated hardware with
nanosecond timing resolution and sub-microsecond latency.

Technologies employed include Python, Migen, MiSoC/mor1kx, LLVM and llvmlite.
