Hal Finkel 9ae5b7a40a [PowerPC] Mark zext of a small scalar load as free
This initial implementation of PPCTargetLowering::isZExtFree marks as free
zexts of small scalar loads (that are not sign-extending). This callback is
used by SelectionDAGBuilder's RegsForValue::getCopyToRegs, and thus to
determine whether a zext or an anyext is used to lower illegally-typed PHIs.
Because later truncates of zero-extended values are nops, this allows for the
elimination of later unnecessary truncations.

Fixes the initial complaint associated with PR22120.
