This was probably useful when it was first written, however it
looks to be no longer necessary.
As far as I can tell these days dce is smart enough to remove useless
instructions from if branches. Once this is done
nir_opt_peephole_select() will end up removing the empty if.
Removing this support reduces the dolphin uber shader compilation
time spent in nir_opt_dead_cf() by a little over 7x.
No shader-db changes on i965 or radeonsi.
