[X86] Extract HiPE prologue constants into metadata

X86FrameLowering::adjustForHiPEPrologue() contains a hard-coded offset
into an Erlang Runtime System-internal data structure (the PCB). As the
layout of this data structure is prone to change, this poses problems
for maintaining compatibility.

To address this problem, the compiler can produce this information as
module-level named metadata. For example (where P_NSP_LIMIT is the
offending offset):

!hipe.literals = !{ !2, !3, !4 }
!2 = !{ !"P_NSP_LIMIT", i32 152 }
!3 = !{ !"X86_LEAF_WORDS", i32 24 }
!4 = !{ !"AMD64_LEAF_WORDS", i32 24 }
