bpf: Improve JEQ/JNE branch taken logic
When determining if an if/else branch will always or never be taken, use signed range knowledge in addition to currently used unsigned range knowledge. If either signed or unsigned range suggests that condition is always/never taken, return corresponding branch_taken verdict. Current use of unsigned range for this seems arbitrary and unnecessarily incomplete. It is possible for *signed* operations to be performed on register, which could "invalidate" unsigned range for that register. In such case branch_taken will be artificially useless, even if we can still tell that some constant is outside of register value range based on its signed bounds. veristat-based validation shows zero differences across selftests, Cilium, and Meta-internal BPF object files.
