[SDAG] Preserve unpredictable metadata, teach X86CmovConversion to respect this metadata
Sometimes an developer would like to have more control over cmov vs branch. We have unpredictable metadata in LLVM IR, but currently it is ignored by X86 backend. Propagate this metadata and avoid cmov->branch conversion in X86CmovConversion for cmov with this metadata.
Example:
```
int MaxIndex(int n, int *a) {
int t = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
// cmov is converted to branch by X86CmovConversion
if (a[i] > a[t]) t = i;
}
return t;
}
int MaxIndex2(int n, int *a) {
int t = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
// cmov is preserved
if (__builtin_unpredictable(a[i] > a[t])) t = i;
}
return t;
}
```

Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, or #llvm IRC channel on OFTC.
The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
