Simplify LowerBackend interface (#5432)

* Refactor lower_branch to have Unit result

Branches cannot have any output, so it is more straightforward
to have the ISLE term return Unit instead of InstOutput.

Also provide a new `emit_side_effect` term to simplify
implementation of `lower_branch` rules with Unit result.

* Simplify LowerBackend interface

Move all remaining asserts from the LowerBackend::lower and
::lower_branch_group into the common call site.

Change return value of ::lower to Option<InstOutput>, and
return value of ::lower_branch_group to Option<()> to match
ISLE term signature.

Only pass the first branch into ::lower_branch_group and
rename it to ::lower_branch.

As a result of all those changes, LowerBackend routines
now consists solely to calls to the corresponding ISLE
routines.
