[X86] Enable forwarding bool arguments in tail calls (PR26305)

[hans]

Summary

The code was previously not able to trace a boolean argument at a call site back to the formal argument of the caller.

Maybe a do { ... } while (false) loop is appropriate here?

Can you also run this in x86_64? The f_i32 guy will have to do movss %rcx, %xmm0 or something.

Also, maybe tail-call-casts.ll is a better name for the test, since it's not all about bools.

But then continue won't work?

My change doesn't affect tail call arguments passed in registers, so is mostly not relevant for x86_64.

I do want to look into x86_64 in a follow-up though. For bools, we currently generate:

movzbl  %dil, %edi
jmp     g_bool

i.e. we do make the tail call, but we don't recognize that the argument can be forwarded as-is. The float bitcast test will come in handy to check that we don't mess that up.

I've renamed the test case.

Rename the test case.
