Given a sequence such as

  %8:gpr64 = COPY $xzr
  %10:gpr64 = COPY $xzr
  %11:gpr64 = CSELXr %8:gpr64, %10:gpr64, 0, implicit $nzcv

`PeepholeOptimizer::foldRedundantCopy` led to the creation of select instructions where both inputs were the same register:

  %11:gpr64 = CSELXr %8:gpr64, %8:gpr64, 0, implicit $nzcv

This change adds a later peephole optimization that replaces such selects with unconditional moves.
