[globalisel][legalizer] G_LOAD/G_STORE NarrowScalar should not emit G_GEP x, 0.

Summary

When legalizing G_LOAD/G_STORE using NarrowScalar, we should avoid emitting
%0 = G_CONSTANT ty 0
%1 = G_GEP %x, %0
since it's cheaper to not emit the redundant instructions than it is to fold them
away later.

LGTM modulo a small refactoring to avoid code duplication.

Could you factorize the code in a helper function?

Factored out the optimization into MachineIRBuilder.

@qcolombet: Before I commit, I'd just like to double-check that the new
materializeGEP() function in MachineIRBuilder is ok with you. The
materialize*() name is intended to be used for instructions that may have to
create vregs in some cases.

The new helper looks good.
Nitpicks below.

Is this clang-formated?
In the browser it looks larger than 80-col, but it may just be an impression.

Shouldn't we call materializeGEP here too for the whole if-then block?

could you calculate offset type base on pointer size ? So it will be legal for 32bit targets .
