bpf: enhance BPF_JEQ/BPF_JNE is_branch_taken logic

Use 32-bit subranges to prune some 64-bit BPF_JEQ/BPF_JNE conditions
that otherwise would be "inconclusive" (i.e., is_branch_taken() would
return -1). This can happen, for example, when registers are initialized
as 64-bit u64/s64, then compared for inequality as 32-bit subregisters,
and then followed by 64-bit equality/inequality check. That 32-bit
inequality can establish some pattern for lower 32 bits of a register
(e.g., s< 0 condition determines whether the bit #31 is zero or not),
while overall 64-bit value could be anything (according to a value range
representation).

This is not a fancy quirky special case, but actually a handling that's
necessary to prevent correctness issue with BPF verifier's range
tracking: set_range_min_max() assumes that register ranges are
non-overlapping, and if that condition is not guaranteed by
is_branch_taken() we can end up with invalid ranges, where min > max.
