    Improved pre-reload split of double word comparison against -1 on x86.
    
    This patch adds an extra optimization to *cmp<dwi>_doubleword to improve
    the code generated for comparisons against -1.  Hypothetically, if a
    comparison against -1 reached this splitter we'd currently generate code
    that looks like:
    
            notq    %rdx            ; 3 bytes
            notq    %rax            ; 3 bytes
            orq     %rdx, %rax      ; 3 bytes
            setne   %al
    
    With this patch we would instead generate the superior:
    
            andq    %rdx, %rax      ; 3 bytes
            cmpq    $-1, %rax       ; 4 bytes
            setne   %al
    
    which is both faster and smaller, and also what's currently generated
    thanks to the middle-end splitting double word comparisons against
    zero and minus one during RTL expansion.  Should that change, this would
    become a missed-optimization regression, but this patch also (potentially)
    helps suitable comparisons created by CSE and combine.

            * config/i386/i386.md (*cmp<dwi>_doubleword): Add a special case
            to split comparisons against -1 using AND and CMP -1 instructions.
