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.
