cmd/compile: in prove, simplify logic of branch pushing

prove used a complex logic when trying to prove branch conditions:
tryPushBranch() was sometimes leaving a checkpoint on the factsTable,
sometimes not, and the caller was supposed to check the return value
to know what to do.

Since we're going to make the prove descend logic a little bit more
complex by adding also induction variables, simplify the tryPushBranch
logic, by removing any factsTable checkpoint handling from it.

Passes toolstash -cmp.
