5c1eb24e2c If-conversion RFC 4 - x86 only (for now), use cmovXX
Replacement of tiny conditional jump graphlets with
conditional move instructions.

Currently enabled only for x86. Arm64 support using cselXX
will be essentially identical.

Adds (internal) frontend sel0/sel1 ops with flag-specific
backend xselXX following jnz implementation pattern.

Testing: standard QBE, cproc, harec, hare, roland

f3ca257737 gvn/gcm review
- Many stylistic nits.
- Removed blkmerge().
- Some minor bug fixes.
- GCM reassoc is now "sink"; a pass that
  moves trivial ops in their target block
  with the same goal of reducing register
  pressure, but starting from instructions
  that benefit from having their inputs
  close.

c2ff93e75e Global Value Numbering / Global Code Motion
More or less as proposed in its ninth iteration with the
addition of a gcmmove() functionality to restore coherent
local schedules.

Changes since RFC 8:

Features:

 - generalization of phi 1/0 detection
 - collapse linear jmp chains before GVN; simplifies if-graph
     detection used in 0/non-0 value inference and if-elim...
 - infer 0/non-0 values from dominating blk jnz; eliminates
     redundant cmp eq/ne 0 and associated jnz/blocks, for example
     redundant null pointer checks (hare codebase likes this)
 - remove (emergent) empty if-then-else graphlets between GVN and
     GCM; improves GCM instruction placement, particularly cmps.
 - merge %addr =l add %addr1, N sequences - reduces tmp count,
     register pressure.
 - squash consecutive associative ops with constant args, e.g.
     t1 = add t, N ... t2 = add t2, M -> t2 = add t, N+M

Bug Fixes:

 - remove "cmp eq/ne of non-identical RCon's " in copyref().
   RCon's are not guaranteed to be dedup'ed, and symbols can
   alias.

Codebase:

  - moved some stuff into cfg.c including blkmerge()
  - some refactoring in gvn.c
  - simplification of reassoc.c - always reassoc all cmp ops
      and Kl add %t, N. Better on coremark, smaller codebase.
  - minor simplification of movins() - use vins

Testing - standard QBE, cproc, hare, harec, coremark
          [still have Rust build issues with latest roland]

Benchmark
- coremark is ~15%+ faster than master
- hare "HARETEST_INCLUDE='slow' make check" ~8% faster
    (crypto::sha1::sha1_1gb is biggest obvious win - ~25% faster)

Changes since RFC 7:

Bug fixes:

- remove isbad4gcm() in GVN/GCM - it is unsound due to different state
    at GVN vs GCM time; replace with "reassociation" pass after GCM
- fix intra-blk use-before-def after GCM
- prevent GVN from deduping trapping instructions cos GCM will not
    move them
- remove cmp eq/ne identical arg copy detection for floating point, it
    is not valid for NaN
- fix cges/cged flagged as commutative in ops.h instead of cnes/cned
    respectively; just a typo

Minor features:

- copy detection handles cmp le/lt/ge/gt with identical args
- treat (integer) div/rem by non-zero constant as non-trapping
- eliminate add N/sub N pairs in copy detection
- maintain accurate tmp use in GVN; not strictly necessary but enables
    interim global state sanity checking
- "reassociation" of trivial constant offset load/store addresses, and
    cmp ops with point-of-use in pass after GCM
- normalise commutative op arg order - e.g. op con, tmp -> op tmp, con
    to simplify copy detection and GVN instruction dedup

Codebase:

- split out core copy detection and constant folding (back) out into
    copy.c, fold.c respectively; gvn.c was getting monolithic
- generic support for instruction moving in ins.c - used by GCM and
    reassoc
- new reassociation pass in reassoc.c
- other minor clean-up/refactor

Changes since RFC 6:

- More ext elimination in GVN by examination of def and use bit width
- elimination of redundant and mask by bit width examination
- Incorporation of Song's patch

Changes since RFC 5:

- avoidance of "bad" candidates for GVN/GCM - trivial address offset
    calculations, and comparisons
- more copy detection mostly around boolean values
- allow elimination of unused load, alloc, trapping instructions
- detection of trivial boolean v ? 1 : 0 phi patterns
- bug fix for (removal of) "chg" optimisation in ins recreation - it
    was missing removal of unused instructions in some cases

ifelim() between GVN and GCM; deeper nopunused()
