…es in false arm (llvm#143020)

Fixes llvm#139050.

This patch adds a check to avoid folding min/max reduction into select, which may block loop vectorization.

The issue is that the following snippet:
```
declare i8 @llvm.umin.i8(i8, i8)

define i8 @masked_min_fold_bug(i8 %acc, i8 %val, i8 %mask) {
; CHECK-LABEL: @masked_min_fold_bug(
; CHECK:       %cond = icmp eq i8 %mask, 0
; CHECK:       %masked_val = select i1 %cond, i8 %val, i8 255
; CHECK:       call i8 @llvm.umin.i8(i8 %acc, i8 %masked_val)
;
  %cond = icmp eq i8 %mask, 0
  %masked_val = select i1 %cond, i8 %val, i8 255
  %res = call i8 @llvm.umin.i8(i8 %acc, i8 %masked_val)
  ret i8 %res
}
```

is being optimized to the following code, which can not be vectorized
later.
```
declare i8 @llvm.umin.i8(i8, i8) #0

define i8 @masked_min_fold_bug(i8 %acc, i8 %val, i8 %mask) {
  %cond = icmp eq i8 %mask, 0
  %1 = call i8 @llvm.umin.i8(i8 %acc, i8 %val)
  %res = select i1 %cond, i8 %1, i8 %acc
  ret i8 %res
}

attributes #0 = { nocallback nofree nosync nounwind speculatable willreturn memory(none) }
```

Expected:
```
declare i8 @llvm.umin.i8(i8, i8) #0

define i8 @masked_min_fold_bug(i8 %acc, i8 %val, i8 %mask) {
  %cond = icmp eq i8 %mask, 0
  %masked_val = select i1 %cond, i8 %val, i8 -1
  %res = call i8 @llvm.umin.i8(i8 %acc, i8 %masked_val)
  ret i8 %res
}

attributes #0 = { nocallback nofree nosync nounwind speculatable willreturn memory(none) }
```

I'm not entirely sure about this one, as this is a performance rather than correctness fix and we're late in the release cycle. But the fix itself does seem quite safe and it blocks clickhouse from updating to LLVM 20.
