Ian Romanick 65d5737fda nir/algebraic: Remove some optimizations of comparisons with fsat
When most of these patterns were created, we believed, incorrectly, that
fsat(NaN) was NaN.  We have since realized that fsat(NaN) is zero.
Originally, this changed the patterns to use is_a_number.  This didn't
help any shaders, so it's easier to just drop the optimizations.

This commit crossed paths with 4c3ad4d065 ("nir/algebraic: mark more
optimization with fsat(NaN) as inexact") and bc123c396a
("nir/algebraic: mark some optimizations with fsat(NaN) as inexact").
Given that these don't impact very many shaders, it seems safer to just
remove them.

As discussed in
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/8716, I tried
modifying these patterns to use !(b cmp a).  Unfortunately, on Intel
GPUs, the results were much worse than just removing the patterns
altogether.

Some other related patterns will be addressed in later commits.

There are still a number of patterns that use the identity fsat(1-X) ==
1 - fsat(X).  If X is NaN, the former is zero while the latter is 1.0.
I haven't evaluted these patterns yet.  If changes are needed in these
patterns, it should be a separate commit anyway.

v2: Replace arrow `=>` with `->` in comments because the `=>` looks a
lot like `<=` comparison.  Suggested by Rhys.

Fixes: 92b75c126b ("nir/algebraic: Replace checks that a value is between (or not) [0, 1]")
Fixes: a7f0c57673 ("nir/algebraic: Eliminate useless fsat() on operand of comparison w/value in (0, 1)")
