When generating code for unsigned equals (==) and not equals (!=)
comparisons we currently, on s390x, always use signed comparisons.
This mostly works well, however signed comparisons on s390x sign
extend their immediates and unsigned comparisons zero extend them.
For compare-and-branch instructions which can only have 8-bit
immediates this significantly changes the range of immediate values
we can represent: [-128, 127] for signed comparisons and [0, 255]
for unsigned comparisons.
When generating equals and not equals checks we don't neet to worry
about whether the comparison is signed or unsigned. This CL
therefore adds rules to allow us to switch signedness for such
comparisons if it means that it brings a constant into range for an
8-bit immediate.
For example, a signed equals with an integer in the range [128, 255]
will now be implemented using an unsigned compare-and-branch
instruction rather than separate compare and branch instructions.
As part of this change I've also added support for adding a name
to block control values using the same `x:(...)` syntax we use for
value rules.

Ensure that any comparison between two values has the same argument
order. This helps ensure that they can be eliminated during the
lowered CSE pass which will be particularly important if we eliminate
the Greater and Geq ops (see #37316).
Example:
CMP R0, R1
BLT L1
CMP R1, R0 // different order, cannot eliminate
BEQ L2
CMP R0, R1
BLT L1
CMP R0, R1 // same order, can eliminate
BEQ L2
This does have some drawbacks. Notably comparisons might 'flip'
direction in the assembly output after even small changes to the
code or compiler. It should help make optimizations more reliable
however.
