I suppose a set of [us]div_trap_on_zero patterns could be used to
merge a conditional trap with division during combine if we want to go
there.  But that suggests that if in Ada integer divide by zero is
something the language standard mandates special behavior for then
either the frontend (with help from the middle-end) or the
middle-end (by singling out integer division with -fnon-call-exceptions)
needs to make the operation well-defined - preferably in an explicit way.
These days we'd probably add IFN_TRUNC_DIV_OR_TRAP for this purpose.

I don't mind guarding the pattern for GCC 12 though, but I'd like
to clarify the semantic questions raised here.
