The immediate size check on StepNumerator did not take into account
that vmul.vi does not exist. It also did not account for power of 2
constants that can be done with vshl.vi.
This patch fixes this by moving the conversion from mul to shift
further op. Then we can consider the immediates separately for MUL
vs SHL. For MUL I've allowed simm12 which requires a single addi
before a vmul.vx. For SHL I've allowed any uimm5 which works with
vshl.vi. We could relax these further in the future. This is a
starting point that allows us to emit the same number of instructions
we were already using for smaller numerators.
