Ian Romanick 5544b2cbbd nir/algebraic: Use value range analysis to eliminate useless unary ops
Sandy Bridge is the big winner because it lies at something of a
crossroads.  It supports a fairly high OpenGL version, and it still has
the old style math box.  The high OpenGL version means a lot more
shaders can run on it.  The old style math box means extra moves are
necessary to resolve source modifiers on operands to complex math
instructions like COS, SQRT, and RCP.

v2: Remove a couple patterns that are now redundant.

Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.html
