This matches GCC and MSVC's behaviour, and saves on code size.
We were already not extending i1 return values on x86_64 after r127766. This
takes that patch further by applying it to x86 target as well, and also for i8
and i16.
The ABI docs have been unclear about the required behaviour here. The new i386
psABI [1] clearly states (Table 2.4, page 14) that i1, i8, and i16 return
vales do not need to be extended beyond 8 bits. The x86_64 ABI doc is being
updated to say the same [2].

For 8-bit divrems where the remainder is used, we used to generate:
divb %sil
shrw $8, %ax
movzbl %al, %eax
That was to avoid an H-reg access, which is problematic mainly because
it isn't possible in REX-prefixed instructions.
This patch optimizes that to:
divb %sil
movzbl %ah, %eax
To do that, we explicitly extend AH, and extract the L-subreg in the
resulting register. The extension is done using the NOREX variants of
MOVZX. To support signed operations, MOVSX_NOREX is also added.
Further, this introduces a new SDNode type, [us]divrem_ext_hreg, which is
then lowered to a sequence containing a single zext (rather than 2).
