[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 08/10] nir: Add algebraic optimizations for simplifying comparisons.

The first batch removes bonus fnot/inot operations, possibly allowing
other optimizations to better recognize patterns.

The next batch replaces a fadd and constant 0.0 with an fneg - negation
is usually free on GPUs, while addition is not.

total NIR instructions in shared programs: 2020814 -> 2015593 (-0.26%)
NIR instructions in affected programs:     411143 -> 405922 (-1.27%)
helped:                                    2233
HURT:                                      214

A few shaders are hurt by a few instructions due to moving neg such
that it has a constant operand, which is then folded, resulting in two
distinct load_consts for x and -x.  We can always clean that up later.
