Ramkumar Ramachandra 51a895aded IR: introduce struct with CmpInst::Predicate and samesign (#116867) ...

Introduce llvm::CmpPredicate, an abstraction over a floating-point
predicate, and a pack of an integer predicate with samesign information,
in order to ease extending large portions of the codebase that take a
CmpInst::Predicate to respect the samesign flag.

We have chosen to demonstrate the utility of this new abstraction by
migrating parts of ValueTracking, InstructionSimplify, and InstCombine
from CmpInst::Predicate to llvm::CmpPredicate. There should be no
functional changes, as we don't perform any extra optimizations with
samesign in this patch, or use CmpPredicate::getMatching.

The design approach taken by this patch allows for unaudited callers of
APIs that take a llvm::CmpPredicate to silently drop the samesign
information; it does not pose a correctness issue, and allows us to
migrate the codebase piece-wise.
