We don't use the condition code results of anything except comparisons.
Implementing this may need something more finely grained than the z_cmp
and z_ucmp that we have now. It might (or might not) also be useful to
have a mask of "don't care" values in conditional branches. For example,
integer comparisons never set CC to 3, so the bottom bit of the CC mask
isn't particularly relevant. JNLH and JE are equally good for testing
equality after an integer comparison, etc.

It's definitely worth using things like CLC, NC, XC and OC with
constant lengths. MVCIN may be worthwhile too.
We should probably implement things like memcpy using MVC with EXECUTE.
