target-i386: optimize flags checking after sub using CC_SRCT
After a comparison or subtraction, the original value of the LHS will currently be reconstructed using an addition. However, in most cases it is already available: store it in a temp-local variable and save 1 or 2 TCG ops (2 if the result of the addition needs to be extended). The temp-local can be declared dead as soon as the cc_op changes again, or also before the translation block ends because gen_prepare_cc will always make a copy before returning it. All this magic, plus copy propagation and dead-code elimination, ensures that the temp local will (almost) never be spilled.
