Try to use non-volatile registers for `preserve_none` parameters (#88333)
This uses non-volatile registers for the first four (six on Windows)
registers used for `preserve_none` argument passing. This allows these
registers to stay "pinned", even if the body of the `preserve_none`
function contains calls to other "normal" functions.
Example:
```c
void boring(void);
__attribute__((preserve_none)) void (continuation)(void *, void *, void *, void *);
__attribute__((preserve_none)) void entry(void *a, void *b, void *c, void *d)
{
boring();
__attribute__((musttail)) return continuation(a, b, c, d);
}
```
Before:
```asm
pushq %rax
movq %rcx, %rbx
movq %rdx, %r14
movq %rsi, %r15
movq %rdi, %r12
callq boring@PLT
movq %r12, %rdi
movq %r15, %rsi
movq %r14, %rdx
movq %rbx, %rcx
popq %rax
jmp continuation@PLT
```
After:
```asm
pushq %rax
callq boring@PLT
popq %rax
jmp continuation@PLT
```
