The previous DAG combiner-based approach had an issue with infinite loops
between the target-dependent and target-independent combiner logic (see
PR40333). Although this was worked around in rL351806, the combiner-based
approach is still potentially brittle and can fail to select the 32-bit shift
variant when profitable to do so, as demonstrated in the pr40333.ll test case.
This patch instead introduces target-specific SelectionDAG nodes for
SHLW/SRLW/SRAW and custom-lowers variable i32 shifts to them. pr40333.ll is a
good example of how this approach can improve codegen.
This adds DAG combine that does SimplifyDemandedBits on the operands (only
lower 32-bits of first operand and lower 5 bits of second operand are read).
This seems better than implementing SimplifyDemandedBitsForTargetNode as there
is no guarantee that would be called (and it's not for e.g. the anyext return
test cases). Also implements ComputeNumSignBitsForTargetNode.
There are codegen changes in atomic-rmw.ll and atomic-cmpxchg.ll but the new
instruction sequences are semantically equivalent.

llvm-svn: 352169
Avoid the infinite loop caused by the target DAG combine converting ANYEXT to
SIGNEXT and the target-independent DAG combine logic converting back to
ANYEXT. Do this by not adding the new node to the worklist.
Committing directly as this definitely doesn't make the problem any worse, and
I intend to follow-up with a patch that avoids this custom combiner logic
altogether and just lowers the i32 operations to a target-specific
SelectionDAG node. This should be easier to reason about and improve codegen
quality in some cases (though may miss out on some later DAG combines).
