Emits one line per hard-register assignment in local and global allocation, with the priority inputs (size, calls_crossed, live_length, n_refs). Gated on the AGBCC_TRACE_ALLOC environment variable, so it is inert and does not affect codegen unless explicitly enabled -- useful for understanding why the allocator placed a value in a particular register when matching decompilations.

Adds an opt-in diagnostic that makes the register allocator explain its decisions, which is very useful when reconstructing C for a byte-match and a value lands in an unexpected register.
When the
AGBCC_TRACE_ALLOCenvironment variable is set, the compiler emits one line per hard-register assignment to stderr:The numbers are exactly the priority inputs the allocator sorts on, so you can see why a pseudo lost the low-register race and got retried into a high register, rather than inferring it from the output.
