[CakeML-Dev] Bootstrap evaluation timings

I went through the commit history on github, and here is a list of changes
since 1a939d3 that looked like they might affect something (based on the
title):

55d5fc0: Update unverified register allocator
63cbd66: Removed asm_ok
98188ad: Changed default bvl_to_bvi configurations
66ddd3d: exh_reorder
8c2f5ae: load_opt

I also found that the eval/x64 directory could probably be deleted (the
default configs for every backend is also defined in targets/configTheory).
The only difference in the x64_compiler_config defined there and the one in
configTheory is pad_bits for data_to_word though. I think it is only there
because otherwise all the backends have to be built to eval anything using
the x64 configuration.

I also reduced the value for exp_cut locally on the nqueens benchmark, but
I didn't any meaningful difference in compile times (the benchmark is
probably too small though).
