Sanjay Patel 2355899d99 add unpredictable metadata type for control flow
This patch defines 'unpredictable' metadata. This metadata can be used to signal to the optimizer
or backend that a branch or switch is unpredictable, and therefore, it's probably better to not
split a compound predicate into multiple branches such as in CodeGenPrepare::splitBranchCondition().

This was discussed in:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23827

Dependent patches to alter codegen and expose this in clang to follow.
