[SelectionDAG] Add the option of disabling generic combines.

Summary

For some targets generic combines don't really do much and they
consume a disproportionate amount of time.
There's not really a mechanism in SDISel to tactically disable
combines, but we can have a switch to disable all of them and
let the targets just implement what they specifically need.

Tested compile time performance on LNT Nightly and didn't make any effect.

Why call this for every node? Why not just once when the combiner is constructed?

Adding an attribute in DAGCombiner that caches disableGenericCombines() calls.

This isn't a machine combiner, also should specify DAG combiner?

I used the same naming other functions (used in DAG combiner) , but I agree is kind of a weird naming honestly, considering the GlobalISel effort (probably the previous naming was pre-GISel itself). I'll change the comment to explicitly mention the DAG combiner.

nit: s/ didn't make any effect./ didn't have any effect./
