Short-circuit alt_fail case in record_reg_classes

record_reg_classes is often the hottest function when generating
unoptimised output.  It seems typical for over 60% of the instructions
it handles to be moves, and of course moves tend to be the instructions
with the longest constraint strings.

Maybe we should avoid using move constraints to set costs in unoptimised
output and instead use the "natural" class for the mode being moved.
That's too invasive for stage 3 though.

However, seeing so many moves means that we see many "failing"
alternatives, usually because of '*' or because of hard registers
in function call sequences.  The frequency of alternatives that are
detected as failures after the first operand tends again to be more
than 60%.  Previously we would continue to process the other operands
of the alternative regardless.  This patch instead adds a short-cut.

As well as avoiding unnecessary work, it means that the alt_fail
variable can be jump-threaded away.

Tested on aach64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.  It reduces compile
time by about 1% on some tests with "-g -O0".

gcc/
	* ira-costs.c (record_reg_classes): Break from the inner loop
	early once alt_fail is known to be true.  Update outer loop
	handling accordingly.
