Sanjay Patel a24296b459 add __builtin_unpredictable and convert to metadata ...

This patch depends on r246688 (D12341).

The goal is to make LLVM generate different code for these functions for a target that
has cheap branches (see PR23827 for more details):

int foo();

int normal(int x, int y, int z) {
   if (x != 0 && y != 0) return foo();
   return 1;
}

int crazy(int x, int y) {
   if (__builtin_unpredictable(x != 0 && y != 0)) return foo();
   return 1;
}
