This is part of trying to clean up our handling of min/max patterns in IR.
By converting these to canonical form, we're more likely to recognize them
because there are various places in InstCombine that don't use
matchSelectPattern or m_SMax and friends.
The backend fixups referenced in the now deleted TODO comment were added with:
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL291392https://reviews.llvm.org/rL289738
If there's any codegen fallout from this change, we should be able to address
it in DAGCombiner or target-specific lowering.

This is a first step towards canonicalization and improved folding/codegen
for integer min/max as discussed here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-November/106868.html
Here, we're just matching the simplest min/max patterns and adjusting the
icmp predicate while swapping the select operands.
I've included FIXME tests in test/Transforms/InstCombine/select_meta.ll
so it's easier to see how this might be extended (corresponds to the TODO
comment in the code). That's also why I'm using matchSelectPattern()
rather than a simpler check; once the backend is patched, we can just
remove some of the restrictions to allow the obfuscated min/max patterns
in the FIXME tests to be matched.

Note that the existing metadata checking was re-added by hand because the
script doesn't currently know how to generate checks for lines outside of
functions.
