This patch enables small size reductions in which the source types are smaller
than the reduction type (e.g., computing an i16 sum from the values in an i8
array). The previous behavior was to only allow small size reductions if the
source types and reduction type were the same. The change accounts for the fact
that the existing sign- and zero-extend instructions in these cases, should
still be included in the cost model.

Correctness validations were run on the nightly test suite, spec2000, and spec2006. The change does not affect the performance of these programs. The 256.bzip2 loop I mentioned to @jmolloy is affected only by disabling the cost model. I had disabled the cost model in order to discover current limitations.
Instead of the _2 suffix, how about _short_short?
