The bug was introduced with:
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL294863
...and manifests as a selection failure in x86, but that's actually
another bug. This fix prevents wrong codegen with -0.0, but in the
more common case when we have NSZ and NNAN (-ffast-math), we should
still be able to fold this setcc/compare.

I don't know if anything other than x86 vectors is affected by this change, but this may allow
us to remove target-specific intrinsics for blendv* (vector selects). The simplification arises
from the fact that blendv* instructions only use the sign-bit when deciding which vector element
to choose for the destination vector. The mechanism to fold VSELECT into SHRUNKBLEND nodes already
exists in x86 lowering; this demanded bits change just enables the transform to fire more often.
The original motivation starts with a bug for DSE of masked stores that seems completely unrelated,
but I've explained the likely steps in this series here:
