This just eliminates tautological / contradictory compares that are used
for bcsel and other non-if-statement cases. If-statements are not
affected because removing flow control can cause the i965 instrution
scheduler to create some very long live ranges resulting in unncessary
spilling. This causes some shaders to fall of a performance cliff.
Since many small if-statements are already flattened to bcsel, this
optimization covers more than 68% of the possible cases (2417 shaders
helped for instructions on Skylake vs. 3554).
v2: Reorder and add whitespace to make the relationship between the
patterns more obvious. Suggested by Caio.
