CodeGen: Implement support for math.lerp lowering (#1609)
To implement math.lerp without branches, we add SELECT_NUM which
selects one of the two inputs based on the comparison condition.

For simplicity, we only support C == D for now; this can be extended to
a more generic version with a IrCondition operand E, but that requires
more work on the SSE side (to flip the comparison for some conditions
like Greater, and expose more generic vcmpsd).

Note: On AArch64 this will effectively result in a change in floating
point
behavior between native code and non-native code: clang synthesizes
fmadd (because floating point contraction is allowed by default, and the
arch always has the instruction), whereas this change will use
fmul+fadd.

I am not sure if this is good or bad, and if this is a problem in C or
not.
Specifically, clang's behavior results in different results between X64
and AArch64 when *not* using codegen, and with this change the behavior
when using codegen is... the same? :)

Fixing this will require either using LERP_NUM instead and hand-coding
lowering, or exposing some sort of "quasi" MADD_NUM (which would
lower to fma on AArch64 and mul+add on X64).

A small benefit to the current approach is `lerp(1, 5, t)`
constant-folds the
subtraction. With LERP_NUM this optimization will need to be implemented
manually as a partial constant-folding for LERP_NUM.

A similar problem exists today for vector.cross & vector.dot. So maybe
this
is not something we need to fix, unsure.
