[llvm] [AArch64] Signed comparison using CMN is safe when the subtraction is nsw (PR #141993)

nsw means no signed wrap, and 0 - INT_MIN is a signed wrap.

Now, this is going to be a point I need to get out of the way:

So is it okay to always transform a > -b  into cmn if it is a signed comparison, even if b is INT_MIN because -INT_MIN is undefined, at least in C.

Taking advantage of UB doesn't introduce bugs. But, this could change behavior in programs with UB.
