Tim Northover fef8e383eb ARM64: use 32-bit moves for constants where possible.
If we know that a particular 64-bit constant has all high bits zero, then we
can rely on the fact that 32-bit ARM64 instructions automatically zero out the
high bits of an x-register. This gives the expansion logic less constraints to
satisfy and so sometimes allows it to pick better sequences.

Came up while porting test/CodeGen/AArch64/movw-consts.ll: this will allow a
32-bit MOVN to be used in @test8 soon.
