In optimizeCompareInstr, a compare instruction is eliminated by using a record form instruction if possible.
If the branch instruction that uses the result of the compare has a static branch hint, the optimization does not happen.
This patch makes this optimization happen regardless of the branch hint by splitting branch hint and branch condition before checking the predicate to identify the possible optimizations.

PPC backend eliminates compare instructions by using record-form instructions in PPCInstrInfo::optimizeCompareInstr, which is called from peephole optimization pass.
This patch improves this optimization to eliminate more compare instructions in two types of common case.
- comparison against a constant 1 or -1
The record-form instructions set CR bit based on signed comparison against 0. So, the current implementation does not exploit the record-form instruction for comparison against a non-zero constant.
This patch enables record-form optimization for constant of 1 or -1 if possible; it changes the condition "greater than -1" into "greater than or equal to 0" and "less than 1" into "less than or equal to 0".
With this patch, compare can be eliminated in the following code sequence, as an example.
uint64_t a, b;
if ((a | b) & 0x8000000000000000ull) { ... }
else { ... }
- andi for 32-bit comparison on PPC64
Since record-form instructions execute 64-bit signed comparison and so we have limitation in eliminating 32-bit comparison, i.e. with cmplwi, using the record-form. The original implementation already has such checks but andi. is not recognized as an instruction which executes implicit zero extension and hence safe to convert into record-form if used for equality check.
%1 = and i32 %a, 10
%2 = icmp ne i32 %1, 0
br i1 %2, label %foo, label %bar
In this simple example, LLVM generates andi. + cmplwi + beq on PPC64.
This patch make it possible to eliminate the cmplwi for this case.
I added andi. for optimization targets if it is safe to do so.

Currently we have a number of tests that fail with -verify-machineinstrs.
To detect this cases earlier we add the option to the testcases with the
exception of tests that will currently fail with this option. PR 27456 keeps
track of this failures.
No code review, as discussed with Hal Finkel.

Resolve Bug 27046 (https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27046).
The PPCInstrInfo::optimizeCompareInstr function could create a new use of
CR0, even if CR0 were previously dead. This patch marks CR0 live if a use of
CR0 is created.
