i965/vec4: Fix dead code elimination for VGRFs of size > 1.

When faced with code such as:

    mov vgrf31.0:UD, 960D
    mov vgrf31.1:UD, vgrf30.xxxx:UD

The dead code eliminator didn't consider reg_offsets, so it decided that
the second instruction was writing was writing to the same register as
the first one, and eliminated the first one.  But they're actually
different registers.

This fixes INTEL_DEBUG=shader_time for vertex shaders.  In the above
code, vgrf31.0 represents the offset into the shader_time buffer where
the data should be written, and vgrf31.1 represents the actual time
data.  With a completely undefined offset, results were...unexpected.

I think this is probably one of the few cases (maybe only case) where we
generate multiple MOVs to a large VGRF.  Normally, we just use them as
texturing results; the other SEND-from-GRF uses a size 1 VGRF.
