Previously, `select` and `brz`/`brnz` instructions, when given a `b1` boolean argument, would test whether that boolean argument was nonzero, rather than whether its LSB was nonzero. Since our invariant for mapping CLIF state to machine state is that bits beyond the width of a value are undefined, the proper lowering is to test only the LSB. (aarch64 does not have the same issue because its `Extend` pseudoinst already properly handles masking of b1 values when a zero-extend is requested, as it is for select/brz/brnz.)

This crate contains the core Cranelift code generator. It translates code from an intermediate representation into executable machine code.
