Fold (and (setcc X, C1), (setcc X, C2))

This is important for several reasons:

1. Benchmarks have lots of code that looks like this (perlbmk in particular):

  %tmp.2.i = setne int %tmp.0.i, 128              ; <bool> [#uses=1]
  %tmp.6343 = seteq int %tmp.0.i, 1               ; <bool> [#uses=1]
  %tmp.63 = and bool %tmp.2.i, %tmp.6343          ; <bool> [#uses=1]

   we now fold away the setne, a clear improvement.

2. In the more important cases, such as (X >= 10) & (X < 20), we now produce
   smaller code: (X-10) < 10.

3. Perhaps the nicest effect of this patch is that it really helps out the
   code generators.  In particular, for a 'range test' like the above,
   instead of generating this on X86 (the difference on PPC is even more
   pronounced):

        cmp %EAX, 50
        setge %CL
        cmp %EAX, 100
        setl %AL
        and %CL, %AL
        cmp %CL, 0

   we now generate this:

        add %EAX, -50
        cmp %EAX, 50

   Furthermore, this causes setcc's to be folded into branches more often.

These combinations trigger dozens of times in the spec benchmarks, particularly
in 176.gcc, 186.crafty, 253.perlbmk, 254.gap, & 099.go.
