This intrinsic clears the upper bits starting at a specified index. If the index is a constant we can do some simplifications.
This could be in InstSimplify, but we don't handle any target specific intrinsics there today.

This patch adds simplification support for the BEXTR/BEXTRI intrinsics to match gcc. This only supports cases that fold to 0 or can be fully constant folded. Theoretically we could support converting to AND if the shift part is unused or to only a shift if the mask doesn't modify any bits after an equivalent shl. gcc doesn't do these transformations either.
I put this in InstCombine, but it could be done in InstSimplify. It would be the first target specific intrinsic in InstSimplify.
