When SubShift (LSL) occurs with both sources constant then optimize away
the calculation.
Additionally if add is found to have one immediate constant where the
inverse of the constant fits in to ImmAddSub range, then invert the
constant and change it in to a sub.
This optimizes the cases when direction flag is known upfront in an
instruction.
Lots of instructions clobber NZCV inadvertently but are not intended to write to
the host flags from the IR point-of-view. As an example, Abs logically has no
side effects but physically clobbers NZCV due to its cmp/csneg impl on non-CSSC
hw. Add infrastructure to model this in the IR so we can deal with it when we
start using NZCV for things.

With the previous RCLSE pass optimization that fixes store->load
forwarding, this pass started optimizing harder.
This hit a bug with this vmov removal that previously didn't get hit.
In particular this would eliminate vmov IR operations even if they were
zero extending a vector.
Since we have dramatically cleaned up the amount of vmov IR operations
we are generating, remove this optimization entirely. In the games I
tested, the only game that hit this "optimization" was Ender Lilies and
it started generating broken code for the single block of instructions
that did.
Adds a unit test for this case just in-case it comes back in the future
for some reason.
Fixes an issue where Ender Lilies would flash the screen to black every
time an enemy hit the player character.
The range was slightly incorrect which mostly wouldn't have caused
issues.
The lowest byte would have just generated slightly less optimal code.
The upper byte could have generated broken code, which our CI couldn't
catch since TSO instructions only get enabled when multiple threads are
in-flight.
Easy enough to fix.
Add new synthetic condition codes that do an AND as their relational operator,
testing the result. This is 1 IR op for things like
(A & B) == 0 ? C : D
This can translate to
tst A, B
csel A, B, eq
In the future, if A is the NZCV register and B is a supported immediate, eg
(NZCV & 0x80000000) == 0 ? C : D
this will be able to translate to a single instruction with the appropriate
condition
csel A, B, pl
but that needs RA support.

This is blocking performance improvements. This backend is almost
unilaterally unused except for when I'm testing if games run on Radeon
video drivers.
Hopefully AmpereOne and Orin/Grace can fulfill this role when they
launch next year.
FEX has a problem with large blocks that uses a ton of constants spread
throughout the block. Once a block gets large enough with enough
constants that have large live ranges, FEX slows down to unusable speeds
due to the register allocator spending more time calculating node
interferences than anything else in the program.
This adds a little heuristic to ensure that constants aren't reused if
the previous value is past a certain distance threshold. This threshold
works well enough that XeSS's pedantic initialization code doesn't have
issues now. See https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX/issues/2688 for more
information about that.
FEX itself should work to remove bad constant usages to make this pass
less necessary anyway. In most cases we are materializing duplicated 0,
1, and masks which could be done without a constant entirely.
Maybe once we've improve that enough we could remove this constant
pooling entirely.
To note, this doesn't fix the issue that XeSS causes our register
allocator, this is purely a heuristic workaround.
AddNZCV is a new op to return the NZCV for an addition directly, which lets us
skip software flag calculation in some cases. In the future it would be nice to
fuse this into the Add itself as a second destination to avoid repeating the
addition, but that's a very involved change and right now I'm building FEX on an
old Chromebook because my M1 kernel is FUBAR.
Similarly, SubNZCV returns flags for Sub. This has the extra twist of needing to
invert the carry bit due to the inverted definition between arm64 and x86_64.

Changes the idiom used for constant mask generation to a ternary.
This pattern is definitely used elsewhere in code but we can get rid of
all instances here.
It is not an external component, and it makes paths needlessly long.
Ryan seemed amenable to this when we discussed on IRC earlier.
