Sanjay Patel 1e54216c88 [SimplifyCFG] use profile metadata to refine merging branch conditions
2nd try (original: 27ae17a6b014) with fix/test for crash. We must make
sure that TTI is available before trying to use it because it is not
required (might be another bug).

Original commit message:

This is one step towards solving:
https://llvm.org/PR49336

In that example, we disregard the recommended usage of builtin_expect,
so an expensive (unpredictable) branch is folded into another branch
that is guarding it.
Here, we read the profile metadata to see if the 1st (predecessor)
condition is likely to cause execution to bypass the 2nd (successor)
condition before merging conditions by using logic ops.
