[globalisel][legalizerinfo] Introduce dedicated extending loads and add lowerings for them
Summary:
Previously, a extending load was represented at (G_*EXT (G_LOAD x)).
This had a few drawbacks:
* G_LOAD had to be legal for all sizes you could extend from, even if
registers didn't naturally hold those sizes.
* All sizes you could extend from had to be allocatable just in case the
extend went missing (e.g. by optimization).
* At minimum, G_*EXT and G_TRUNC had to be legal for these sizes. As we
improve optimization of extends and truncates, this legality requirement
would spread without considerable care w.r.t when certain combines were
permitted.
* The SelectionDAG importer required some ugly and fragile pattern
rewriting to translate patterns into this style.
This patch begins changing the representation to:
* (G_[SZ]EXTLOAD x)
* (G_LOAD x) any-extends when MMO.getSize() * 8 < ResultTy.getSizeInBits()
which resolves these issues by allowing targets to work entirely in their
native register sizes, and by having a more direct translation from
SelectionDAG patterns.
This patch introduces the new generic instructions and new variation on
G_LOAD and adds lowering for them to convert back to the existing
representations.
Depends on D45466
