'tbnz/tbz' instruction can be used to check whether a given W or X
register value is negative or positive.

For example,
tst x0, x0; blt >1
can be optimized as tbnz x0, #63, >1

It's important to note that the jump range of 'tbnz/tbz' is limited, and
it's better NOT to use 'tbnz/tbz' if the target of 'b.cond' is a label
in section .cold_code or a global label, such as the instruction
sequence tst RETVALw, RETVALw; blt ->trace_halt at function
zend_jit_trace_exit_stub(), and the instruction sequence tst REG0, REG0; blt >7 at function zend_jit_incdec_obj().

Minor updates:
Use macros BW_OP_32_WITH_CONST and GC_ADDREF at function
zend_jit_push_call_frame().

Test: all ~4k .phpt test cases under tests/ Zend/tests/ ext/opcache/tests/jit/ can pass for Linux JIT/arm64.
Note that in total 8 JIT variants are tested, covering ZTS/nonZTS, HYBRID/VM, and functional/tracing JIT.
