Hal Finkel 4e703f82f2 [PowerPC] Add a DAGToDAG peephole to remove unnecessary zero-exts
On PPC64, we end up with lots of i32 -> i64 zero extensions, not only from all
of the usual places, but also from the ABI, which specifies that values passed
are zero extended. Almost all 32-bit PPC instructions in PPC64 mode are defined
to do *something* to the higher-order bits, and for some instructions, that
action clears those bits (thus providing a zero-extended result). This is
especially common after rotate-and-mask instructions. Adding an additional
instruction to zero-extend the results of these instructions is unnecessary.

This PPCISelDAGToDAG peephole optimization examines these zero-extensions, and
looks back through their operands to see if all instructions will implicitly
zero extend their results. If so, we convert these instructions to their 64-bit
variants (which is an internal change only, the actual encoding of these
instructions is the same as the original 32-bit ones) and remove the
unnecessary zero-extension (changing where the INSERT_SUBREG instructions are
to make everything internally consistent).
