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.
