[RISCV] Add basic support for the sifive-7-series short forward branch optimization.

Summary

sifive-7-series has macrofusion support to convert a branch over
a single instruction into a conditional instruction. This can be
an improvement if the branch is hard to predict.

This patch adds support for the most basic case, a branch over a
move instruction. This is implemented as a pseudo instruction so
we can hide the control flow until all code motion passes complete.

I've disabled a recent select optimization if this feature is enabled
in the subtarget.

I think you probably want to make the 0 and -1 arm transforms conditional too right?

Shouldn't MI be WorkingMI here?

Are you intentionally giving me a punch list? :)
