[vm/bytecode/compiler] Make sure the first successor in branches corresponds to fallthrough

Forward jumps in bytecode usually go to the 'else' part (skipping 'then')
or exit loops. In order to generate Branch instructions in flow graph
which would represent ifs and loop conditions more naturally the first ('true')
successor of a BranchInstr should correspond to fallthrough in bytecode, and not the
target of a Jump bytecode instructions.

This results in a slightly better register allocation.

Golem shows overall improvement +0.4620% on x64 and +0.8395% on arm64.
