Nikita Popov 03de1cb715 [InstCombine][CGP] Move swapMayExposeCSEOpportunities() fold
InstCombine tries to swap compare operands to match sub instructions
in order to expose "CSE opportunities". However, it doesn't really
make sense to perform this transform in the middle-end, as we cannot
actually CSE the instructions there.

The backend already performs this fold in
18f5446a45/llvm/lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG/TargetLowering.cpp (L4236)
on the SDAG level, however this only works within a single basic block.

To handle cross-BB cases, we do need to handle this in the IR layer.
This patch moves the fold from InstCombine to CGP in the backend,
while keeping the same (somewhat dubious) heuristic.
