cmd/compile: add opt branchelim to rewrite some CondSelect into math

This allows something like:
  if y { x++ }

To be compiled to:
  MOVBLZX BX, CX
  ADDQ CX, AX

Instead of:
  LEAQ    1(AX), CX
  MOVBLZX BL, DX
  TESTQ   DX, DX
  CMOVQNE CX, AX

While ./make.bash uniqued per LOC, there is 100 additions and 75 substractions.

See benchmark here: https://go.dev/play/p/DJf5COjwhd_s

Either it's a performance no-op or it is faster:

There are other benefits not tested by this benchmark:
- the math form is usually a couple bytes shorter (ICACHE)
- the math form is usually 0~2 uops shorter (UCACHE)
- the math form has usually less register pressure*
- the math form can sometimes be optimized further

*regalloc rarely find how it can use less registers

As far as pass ordering goes there are many possible options,
I've decided to reorder branchelim before late opt since:
- unlike running exclusively the CondSelect rules after branchelim,
  some extra optimizations might trigger on the adds or subs.
- I don't want to maintain a second generic.rules file of only the stuff,
  that can trigger after branchelim.
- rerunning all of opt a third time increase compilation time for little gains.

By elimination moving branchelim seems fine.
