[CPG][ARM] Optimize towards branch on zero in codegenprepare

This adds a simple fold into codegenprepare that converts comparison of
branches towards comparison with zero if possible. For example:
  %c = icmp ult %x, 8
  br %c, bla, blb
  %tc = lshr %x, 3
becomes
  %tc = lshr %x, 3
  %c = icmp eq %tc, 0
  br %c, bla, blb

As a first order approximation, this can reduce the number of
instructions needed to perform the branch as the shift is (often) needed
anyway. At the moment this does not effect very much, as llvm tends to
prefer the opposite form. But it can protect against regressions from
commits like rG9423f78240a2.

Simple cases of Add and Sub are added along with Shift, equally as the
comparison to zero can often be folded with cpsr flags.
