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.
