For some reason I never got around to adding these at the same time as
the signed versions. No idea why.
I'm not sure whether this SystemZII::BranchC* stuff is useful, or whether
it should just be replaced with an "is normal" flag. I'll leave that
for later though.
There are some boundary conditions that can be tweaked, such as preferring
unsigned comparisons for equality with [128, 256), and "<= 255" over "< 256",
but again I'll leave those for a separate patch.

System z branches have a mask to select which of the 4 CC values should
cause the branch to be taken. We can invert a branch by inverting the mask.
However, not all instructions can produce all 4 CC values, so inverting
the branch like this can lead to some oddities. For example, integer
comparisons only produce a CC of 0 (equal), 1 (less) or 2 (greater).
If an integer EQ is reversed to NE before instruction selection,
the branch will test for 1 or 2. If instead the branch is reversed
after instruction selection (by inverting the mask), it will test for
1, 2 or 3. Both are correct, but the second isn't really canonical.
This patch therefore keeps track of which CC values are possible
and uses this when inverting a mask.
Although this is mostly cosmestic, it fixes undefined behavior
for the CIJNLH in branch-08.ll. Another fix would have been
to mask out bit 0 when generating the fused compare and branch,
but the point of this patch is that we shouldn't need to do that
in the first place.
The patch also makes it easier to reuse CC results from other instructions.

r187116 moved compare-and-branch generation from the instruction-selection
pass to the peephole optimizer (via optimizeCompare). It turns out that even
this is a bit too early. Fused compare-and-branch instructions don't
interact well with predication, where a CC result is needed. They also
make it harder to reuse the CC side-effects of earlier instructions
(not yet implemented, but the subject of a later patch).
Another problem was that the AnalyzeBranch family of routines weren't
handling compares and branches, so we weren't able to reverse the fused
form in cases where we would reverse a separate branch. This could have
been fixed by extending AnalyzeBranch, but given the other problems,
I've instead moved the fusing to the long-branch pass, which is also
responsible for the opposite transformation: splitting out-of-range
compares and branches into separate compares and long branches.
I've added a test for the AnalyzeBranch problem. A test for the
predication problem is included in the next patch, which fixes a bug
in the choice of CC mask.
