bpf: Track spill/fill of bounded scalars.
Under register pressure the llvm may spill registers with bounds into the stack. The verifier has to track them through spill/fill otherwise many kinds of bound errors will be seen. The spill/fill of induction variables was already happening. This patch extends this logic from tracking spill/fill of a constant into any bounded register. There is no need to track spill/fill of unbounded, since no new information will be retrieved from the stack during register fill. Though extra stack difference could cause state pruning to be less effective, no adverse affects were seen from this patch on selftests and on cilium programs.
