Summary:
When identifing instructions that can be folded into a MOVCC instruction,
checking for a predicate operand is not enough, also need to check for
thumb2 function, with restrict-IT, is the machine instruction eligible for
ARMv8 IT or not.
Notes in ARMv8-A Architecture Reference Manual, section "Partial deprecation of IT"
https://usermanual.wiki/Pdf/ARM20Architecture20Reference20ManualARMv8.1667877052.pdf
"ARMv8-A deprecates some uses of the T32 IT instruction. All uses of IT that apply to
instructions other than a single subsequent 16-bit instruction from a restricted set
are deprecated, as are explicit references to the PC within that single 16-bit
instruction. This permits the non-deprecated forms of IT and subsequent instructions
to be treated as a single 32-bit conditional instruction."

analysis.
We're already using TTI in SimplifyCFG, so remove the hard-baked "cheapness"
heuristic and use TTI directly. Generally NFC intended, but we're using a slightly
different heuristic now so there is a slight test churn.
Test changes:
* combine-comparisons-by-cse.ll: Removed unneeded branch check.
* 2014-08-04-muls-it.ll: Test now doesn't branch but emits muleq.
* coalesce-subregs.ll: Superfluous block check.
* 2008-01-02-hoist-fp-add.ll: fadd is safe to speculate. Change to udiv.
* PhiBlockMerge.ll: Superfluous CFG checking code. Main checks still present.
* select-gep.ll: A variable GEP is not expensive, just TCC_Basic, according to the TTI.

The ARM ARM states that CPSR may not be updated by a MUL in thumb mode. Due to
an ordering of Thumb 2 Size Reduction and If Conversion, we would end up
generating a THUMB MULS inside an IT block.
The If Conversion pass uses the TTI isPredicable method to ensure that it can
transform a Basic Block. However, because we only check for IT handling on
Thumb2 functions, we may miss some cases. Even then, it only validates that the
CPSR is not *live* rather than it is not accessed. This corrects the handling
for that particular case since the same restriction does not hold on the vast
majority of the instructions.
This does prevent the IfConversion optimization from kicking in in certain
cases, but generating correct code is more valuable. Addresses PR20555.
