IRgen: Add a -fuse-register-sized-bitfield-access option, for testing.

 - Changes bit-field access policy to try to use (aligned) register sized accesses.

The idea here is that by using larger accesses we expose more coalescing
potential to the backend when we have situations like adjacent bit-fields in the
same structure (which is common), and that the backend should be smart enough to
narrow the accesses down when no coalescing is done or when it is shown not to
be profitable.
