/// This file contains a pass that transforms CBZ/CBNZ/TBZ/TBNZ instructions
/// into a conditional branch (B.cond), when the NZCV flags can be set for
/// "free".  This is preferred on targets that have more flexibility when
/// scheduling B.cond instructions as compared to CBZ/CBNZ/TBZ/TBNZ (assuming
/// all other variables are equal).  This can also reduce register pressure.
///
/// A few examples:
///
/// 1) add w8, w0, w1  -> cmn w0, w1             ; CMN is an alias of ADDS.
///    cbz w8, .LBB_2  -> b.eq .LBB0_2
///
/// 2) add w8, w0, w1  -> adds w8, w0, w1        ; w8 has multiple uses.
///    cbz w8, .LBB1_2 -> b.eq .LBB1_2
///
/// 3) sub w8, w0, w1       -> subs w8, w0, w1   ; w8 has multiple uses.
///    tbz w8, #31, .LBB6_2 -> b.pl .LBB6_2
