Defer NOT and zero-test materialization so ISZERO chains can collapse without building redundant 256-bit MIR values. Improve x86 lowering and CG peepholes for compare chains and short-diamond branches. + +## Motivation + +The EVM frontend mechanically expands all operations to full 256-bit MIR regardless of operand values.
