ca87579f23 Add a very simple cost model to estimate runtime cost of running code.
This is currently only used to decide whether it's worth doing an
"are all lanes running" check at the start of functions--for small
functions, it's not worth the overhead.

The cost is estimated relatively early in compilation (e.g. before
we know if an array access is a scatter/gather or not, before
constant folding, etc.), so there are many known shortcomings.

173632f446 Generate more efficient for regular varying 'if' statements.
For the case where we have a regular (i.e. non-'cif') 'if' statement,
the generated code just simply checks to see if any program instance
is running before running the corresponding statements.  This is a
lighter-weight check than IfStmt::emitMaskMixed() was performing.

0848c2cc19 Actually make all 'if' statements check for 'all off' mask.
Contrary to claims in 0c2048385, that checkin didn't include the changes
to not run if/else blocks if none of the program instances wanted to be
running them.  This checkin fixes that and thus actually fixes issue #74.
