Summary:
In D61918 i was looking at dropping it in DAGCombiner `visitShiftByConstant()`,
but as @craig.topper pointed out, it was copied from here.
That check claims that the transform is illegal otherwise.
That isn't true:
1. For `ISD::ADD`, we only process `ISD::SHL` outer shift => sign bit does not matter

2. For `ISD::AND`, there is no restriction on constants:

3. For `ISD::OR`, there is no restriction on constants:
https://rise4fun.com/Alive/GOH
3. For `ISD::XOR`, there is no restriction on constants:
https://rise4fun.com/Alive/ml6
So, why is it there then?
As far as i can tell, it dates all the way back to original check-in rL7793.
I think we should just drop it.
