nir/algebraic: Distribute source modifiers into instructions

There are three main classes of cases that are helped by this change:

1. When the negation is applied to a value being type converted (e.g.,
   float(-x)).  This could possibly also be handled with more clever
   code generation.

2. When the negation is applied to a phi node source (e.g., x = -(...);
   at the end of a basic block).  This was the original case that caught
   my attention while looking at shader-db dumps.

3. When the negation is applied to the source of an instruction that
   cannot have source modifiers.  This includes texture instructions and
   math box instructions on pre-Gen7 platforms (see more details below).

In many these cases the negation can be propagated into the instructions
that generate the value (e.g., -(a*b) = (-a)*b).

In addition to the operations implemtned in this patch, I also tried:

 - frcp - Helped 6 or fewer shaders on Gen7+, and hurt just as many on
   pre-Gen7.  On Gen6 and earlier, frcp is a math box instruction, and
   math box instructions cannot have source modifiers.

   I suspect this is why so many more shaders are helped on Gen6 than on
   Gen5 or Gen7.  Gen6 supports OpenGL 3.3, so a lot more shaders
   compile on it.  A lot of these shaders may have things like cos(-x)
   or rcp(-x) that could result in an explicit negation instruction.

 - bcsel - Hurt a few shaders with none helped.  bcsel operates on
   integer sources, so the fabs or fneg cannot be a source modifier in
   the bcsel itself.

 - Integer instructions - No changes on any Intel platform.

Some notes about the shader-db results below.

 - On Tiger Lake, a single Deus Ex fragment shader is hurt for both
   spills and fills.

 - On Haswell, a different Deus Ex fragment shader is hurt for both
   spills and fills.

 - On GM45, the "LOST: 1" and "GAINED: 1" is a single Left4Dead 2
   (very high graphics settings, lol) fragment shader that upgrades
   from SIMD8 to SIMD16.

v2: Add support for fsign.  Add some patterns that remove redundant
negations and redundant absolute value rather than trying to push them
down the tree.
