[ARM] Comply with rules on ARMv8-A thumb mode partial deprecation of IT.

Summary:
When identifing instructions that can be folded into a MOVCC instruction,
checking for a predicate operand is not enough, also need to check for
thumb2 function, with restrict-IT, is the machine instruction eligible for
ARMv8 IT or not.

Notes in ARMv8-A Architecture Reference Manual, section "Partial deprecation of IT"
  https://usermanual.wiki/Pdf/ARM20Architecture20Reference20ManualARMv8.1667877052.pdf

"ARMv8-A deprecates some uses of the T32 IT instruction. All uses of IT that apply to
instructions other than a single subsequent 16-bit instruction from a restricted set
are deprecated, as are explicit references to the PC within that single 16-bit
instruction. This permits the non-deprecated forms of IT and subsequent instructions
to be treated as a single 32-bit conditional instruction."
