After a comparison or subtraction, the original value of the LHS will
currently be reconstructed using an addition. However, in most cases
it is already available: store it in a temp-local variable and save 1
or 2 TCG ops (2 if the result of the addition needs to be extended).
The temp-local can be declared dead as soon as the cc_op changes again,
or also before the translation block ends because gen_prepare_cc will
always make a copy before returning it. All this magic, plus copy
propagation and dead-code elimination, ensures that the temp local will
(almost) never be spilled.
