Sanjoy Das f206bf2145 [JumpThreading] Thread through guards
Summary:
This patch allows JumpThreading also thread through guards.
Virtually, guard(cond) is equivalent to the following construction:

  if (cond) { do something } else {deoptimize}

Yet it is not explicitly converted into IFs before lowering.
This patch enables early threading through guards in simple cases.
Currently it covers the following situation:

  if (cond1) {
    // code A
  } else {
    // code B
  }
  // code C
  guard(cond2)
  // code D

If there is implication cond1 => cond2 or !cond1 => cond2, we can transform
this construction into the following:

  if (cond1) {
    // code A
    // code C
  } else {
    // code B
    // code C
    guard(cond2)
  }
  // code D

Thus, removing the guard from one of execution branches.
