Remove a instcombine transform that (no longer?) makes sense:

    // C - zext(bool) -> bool ? C - 1 : C
    if (ZExtInst *ZI = dyn_cast<ZExtInst>(Op1))
      if (ZI->getSrcTy()->isIntegerTy(1))
        return SelectInst::Create(ZI->getOperand(0), SubOne(C), C);

This ends up forming sext i1 instructions that codegen to terrible code. e.g.
int blah(_Bool x, _Bool y) {
  return (x - y) + 1;
}
=>
        movzbl  %dil, %eax
        movzbl  %sil, %ecx
        shll    $31, %ecx
        sarl    $31, %ecx
        leal    1(%rax,%rcx), %eax
        ret


Without the rule, llvm now generates:
        movzbl  %sil, %ecx
        movzbl  %dil, %eax
        incl    %eax
        subl    %ecx, %eax
        ret

It also helps with ARM (and pretty much any target that doesn't have a sext i1 :-).

The transformation was done as part of Eli's r75531. He has given the ok to
remove it.
