[PATCH 08/13] let insert_branch() return a status

[Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@gmail.com>]

insert_branch() modifies the CFG and the usage of pseudos so these
changes must be, in a way or another, notify to the upper layers.
Currently this is done by setting 'repeat_phase' in the function
itself.

Let this function to also report the changes via its return value
since this is usually useful for the caller to know and tend to
leaner code too.
