Said differently, it is passed as an operand to this named pattern or
optab, so you need a match_operand here.

But notice the cost of *cbranch_2insn -- ifcvt should never generate
cbranchcc4 with such composite conditions!

I don't think we should pretend we have any conditional jumps the
machine does not actually have, in cbranchcc4.  When would this ever be
useful?  cror;beq can be quite expensive, compared to the code it would
replace anyway.

If something generates those here (which then ICEs later), that is
wrong, fix *that*?  Is it ifcvt doing it?
