nir: add opt_if_loop_terminator()

This pass detects potential loop terminators and moves intructions
from the non breaking branch after the if-statement.

This enables both the new opt_if_simplification() pass and loop
unrolling to potentially progress further.

Unexpectedly this change speed up shader-db run times by ~3%

Ivy Bridge shader-db results (all changes in dolphin/ubershaders):
