This adds a simple fold into codegenprepare that converts comparison of
branches towards comparison with zero if possible. For example:
%c = icmp ult %x, 8
br %c, bla, blb
%tc = lshr %x, 3
becomes
%tc = lshr %x, 3
%c = icmp eq %tc, 0
br %c, bla, blb
As a first order approximation, this can reduce the number of
instructions needed to perform the branch as the shift is (often) needed
anyway. At the moment this does not effect very much, as llvm tends to
prefer the opposite form. But it can protect against regressions from
commits like rG9423f78240a2.
Simple cases of Add and Sub are added along with Shift, equally as the
comparison to zero can often be folded with cpsr flags.

Current tail duplication integrated in bb layout is designed to increase the fallthrough from a BB's predecessor to its successor, but we have observed cases that duplication doesn't increase fallthrough, or it brings too much size overhead.
To overcome these two issues in function canTailDuplicateUnplacedPreds I add two checks:
make sure there is at least one duplication in current work set.
the number of duplication should not exceed the number of successors.
The modification in hasBetterLayoutPredecessor fixes a bug that potential predecessor must be at the bottom of a chain.

I'm really not sure why we were in the first place, it's the linker's job to
convert between BL/BLX as necessary. Even worse, using BLX left Thumb calls
that could be locally resolved completely unencodable since all offsets to BLX
are multiples of 4.

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.

phi cycles. Adjust a few tests to keep dead instructions from being optimized
away. This (together with my previous change for phi cycles) fixes Apple
radar 7627077.

reduce down to a single value. InstCombine already does this transformation
but DAG legalization may introduce new opportunities. This has turned out to
be important for ARM where 64-bit values are split up during type legalization:
InstCombine is not able to remove the PHI cycles on the 64-bit values but
the separate 32-bit values can be optimized. I measured the compile time
impact of this (running llc on 176.gcc) and it was not significant.
