PR tree-optimization/91384: peephole2 to eliminate testl after negl.

Browse Source 
This patch is my proposed solution to PR tree-optimization/91384 which is
a missed-optimization/code quality regression on x86_64.  The problematic
idiom is "if (r = -a)" which is equivalent to both "r = -a; if (r != 0)"
and alternatively "r = -a; if (a != 0)".  In this particular case, on
x86_64, we prefer to use the condition codes from the negation, rather
than require an explicit testl instruction.

Unfortunately, combine can't help, as it doesn't attempt to merge pairs
of instructions that share the same operand(s), only pairs/triples of
instructions where the result of each instruction feeds the next.  But
I doubt there's sufficient benefit to attempt this kind of "combination"
(that wouldn't already be caught by the tree-ssa passes).

Fortunately, it's relatively easy to fix this up (addressing the
regression) during peephole2 to eliminate the unnecessary testl in:

        movl    %edi, %ebx
        negl    %ebx
        testl   %edi, %edi
        je      .L2
