Base heuristics apply to all code apart from inner-most loops.

This is the first commit for the cmov-vs-branch optimization pass.
The goal is to develop a new profile-guided and target-independent cost/benefit analysis
for selecting conditional moves over branches when optimizing for performance.
Initially, this new pass is expected to be enabled only for instrumentation-based PGO.
