tblgen will complain if a sign-extended constant does not fit into a
data type smaller than i32, e.g., i16. This causes a problem when certain
hex constants are used, such as 0xff for byte masks or immediate xor
values.
tblgen will try the sign-extended value first and, if the sign extended
value would overflow, it tries to see if the unsigned value will fit.
Consequently, a software developer can now safely incant:
(XORHIr16 R16C:$rA, 0xffff)
which is somewhat clearer and more informative than incanting:
(XORHIr16 R16C:$rA, (i16 -1))
even if the two are bitwise equivalent.
Tblgen also outputs the 64-bit unsigned constant in the generated ISel code
when getTargetConstant() is invoked.

instead of "ISD::STORE". This allows us to mark target-specific dag
nodes as storing (such as ppc byteswap stores). This allows us to remove
more explicit isStore flags from the .td files.
Finally, add a warning for when a .td file contains an explicit
isStore and tblgen is able to infer it.
