Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5.5 5631c3c9b6 Interpreter: Continue past branches where the IR cores do ...

The IR frontend compiles on past a conditional branch that isn't taken,
so the IR cores don't check downcount there, while the interpreter
ended its block at every branch. Events then landed on different
instructions, and a game's trace left the interpreter's within a few
hundred syscalls.

The interpreter now applies the same rule at run time: not likely, the
operands not decided by their registers, no branch in the delay slot,
no prefix pending after the delay slot, and the same instruction and
branch limits, counted the same way. It also goes on past a beql/bnel
over a break, which the IR frontend drops. The limits move to IRInst.h
so both use them.

With it, the interpreter, IR interpreter and ARM64 JIT produce the same
trace of syscalls and thread switches over 5 emulated seconds of God of
War, Tekken 6 and Daxter.
