Juneyoung Lee 3333999419 [DAGCombiner] Fold BRCOND(FREEZE(COND)) to BRCOND(COND)
This patch resolves the suboptimal codegen described in http://llvm.org/pr47873 .
When CodeGenPrepare lowers select into a conditional branch, a freeze instruction is inserted.
It is then translated to `BRCOND(FREEZE(SETCC))` in SelDag.
The `FREEZE` in the middle of `SETCC` and `BRCOND` was causing a suboptimal code generation however.
This patch adds `BRCOND(FREEZE(cond))` -> `BRCOND(cond)` fold to DAGCombiner to remove the `FREEZE`.

To make this optimization sound, `BRCOND(UNDEF)` simply should nondeterministically jump to the branch or not, rather than raising UB.
It wasn't clear what happens when the condition was undef according to the comments in ISDOpcodes.h, however.
I updated the comments of `BRCOND` to make it explicit (as well as `BR_CC`, which is also a conditional branch instruction).

Note that it diverges from the semantics of `br` instruction in IR, which is explicitly UB.
Since the UB semantics was necessary to explain optimizations that use branching conditions, and SelDag doesn't seem to have such optimization, I think this divergence is okay.
