When an ALU instruction is preceded by a MOV instruction
that just moves a source register into the destination register of
the ALU, replace that MOV+ALU instructions by an ALU operation
taking the source of the MOV as second source instead of using its
destination.
Before the change, code could look like the following, with
superfluous separate register move (mr) instructions.
70: 7f c6 f3 78 mr r6,r30
74: 7f a5 eb 78 mr r5,r29
78: 30 c6 ff f4 addic r6,r6,-12
7c: 7c a5 01 d4 addme r5,r5
With this commit, addition instructions take r30 and r29 directly.
70: 30 de ff f4 addic r6,r30,-12
