This fixes the perf regression that was found in rust-lang/rust#154470 (comment).

Previously, FastISel would fall back to DAG ISel for any illegal return
type. This change adds a more precise check to determine if the ABI
requires a type conversion that FastISel cannot handle.

For example, bfloat is returned as f16 in XMM0, but FastISel would
assign f32 register type and store it in FuncInfo.ValueMap, causing DAG
to incorrectly perform type conversion from f32 to bfloat later.

However, i1 is promoted to i8 and returned as i8 per the ABI, so
FastISel
can safely lower it without switching to DAGISel. This change enables
FastISel to handle such cases properly.
