The default promotion for the add_sat/sub_sat nodes currently does:
1. ANY_EXTEND iN to iM
2. SHL by M-N
3. [US][ADD|SUB]SAT
4. L/ASHR by M-N
If the promoted add_sat or sub_sat node is not legal, this can produce code
that effectively does a lot of shifting (and requiring large constants to be
materialised) just to use the overflow flag. It is simpler to just do the
saturation manually, using the higher bitwidth addition and a min/max against
the saturating bounds. That is what this patch attempts to do.
