Add a new target hook "predictableSelectIsExpensive".
This will be used to determine whether it's profitable to turn a select into a
branch when the branch is likely to be predicted.
Currently enabled for everything but Atom on X86 and Cortex-A9 devices on ARM.
I'm not entirely happy with the name of this flag, suggestions welcome ;)
