This is a follow-up suggested in D86420 - if we have a pair of stores
in inverted order for the target endian, we can rotate the source
bits into place.
The "be_i64_to_i16_order" test shows a limitation of the current
function (which might be avoided if we integrate this function with
the other cases in mergeConsecutiveStores). In the earlier
"be_i64_to_i16" test, we skip the first 2 stores because we do not
match the full set as consecutive or rotate-able, but then we reach
the last 2 stores and see that they are an inverted pair of 16-bit
stores. The "be_i64_to_i16_order" test alters the program order of
the stores, so we miss matching the sub-pattern.

We have a gap in our store merging capabilities for shift+truncate
patterns as discussed in:
https://llvm.org/PR46662
I generalized the code/comments for this function in earlier commits,
so we only need ease the type restriction and adjust the address/endian
checking to make this work.
AArch64 lets us switch endian to make sure that patterns are matched
either way.
