IR generation was not handling the special two-operand flavor of the `?:` operator that GCC supports as an extension. The extractor doesn't quite give us enough information to do this correctly (see github/codeql-c-extractor-team#67), but we can get pretty close. About half of the code could be shared between the two-operand and three-operand flavors. The main differences for the two-operand flavor are: 1. The "then" operand isn't a child of the `ConditionalExpr`. Instead, we just reuse the original value of the "condition" operand, skipping any implicit cast to `bool` (see comment for rationale). 2. For the three-operand flavor, we generate the condition as control flow rather than the computation of a `bool` value, to avoid creating unnecessarily complicated branching. For the two-operand version, we just compute the value, since we have to reuse that value in the "then" branch anyway. I've added IR tests for these new cases. I've also updated the expectations for `SignAnalysis.ql` based on the fix. @rdmarsh2, can you please double-check that these diffs look correct? I believe they do, but you're the range/sign analysis expert.
