cmd/compile/internal/noder: elide statically known "if" statements

In go.dev/cl/517775, I moved the frontend's deadcode elimination pass
into unified IR. But I also made a small enhancement: a branch like
"if x || true" is now detected as always taken, so the else branch can
be eliminated.

However, the inliner also has an optimization for delaying the
introduction of the result temporary variables when there's a single
return statement (added in go.dev/cl/266199). Consequently, the
inliner turns "if x || true { return true }; return true" into:

	if x || true {
		~R0 := true
		goto .i0
	}
	.i0:
	// code that uses ~R0

In turn, this confuses phi insertion, because it doesn't recognize
that the "if" statement is always taken, and so ~R0 will always be
initialized.

With this CL, after inlining we instead produce:

	_ = x || true
	~R0 := true
	goto .i0
	.i0:

Fixes #62211.
