There’s a pattern where a branch is conditioned on a conjunction or disjunction that ends up being modeled as a select​ where the first operand is set to true​ or the second to false​. If the branch has known branch weights, they can be copied to the select​. This is worth doing in case later the select​ gets transformed to something else (i.e. if we know the profile, we should propagate it).

Note: I preferred assert-ing here (and below) because the expectation is the condition comes from createLogicalOp and the only reason we get a select is because of how or or and get lowered there.
