For patterns c/d/e we too can deal with the pattern even if we can't
just drop the mask, we can just apply it afterwars:

If the legality check is `(shiftNbits-maskNbits) s>= 0`,
then we can simplify it to `shiftNbits u>= maskNbits`,
which is easier to check for.
However, currently switching the `dropRedundantMaskingOfLeftShiftInput()`
to `SimplifyICmpInst()` does not catch these cases and regresses
currently-handled cases, so i'll leave it as is for now.

Summary:
If we have some pattern that leaves only some low bits set, and then performs
left-shift of those bits, if none of the bits that are left after the final
shift are modified by the mask, we can omit the mask.
There are many variants to this pattern:
d. `(x & ((-1 << MaskShAmt) >> MaskShAmt)) << ShiftShAmt`
All these patterns can be simplified to just:
`x << ShiftShAmt`
iff:
d. `(ShiftShAmt-MaskShAmt) s>= 0` (i.e. `ShiftShAmt u>= MaskShAmt`)

For now let's start with patterns where both shift amounts are variable,
with trivial constant "offset" between them, since i believe this is
both simplest to handle and i think this is most common.
But again, there are likely other variants where we could use
ValueTracking/ConstantRange to handle more cases.

Indeed, not all of these patterns are canonical.
But since this fold will only produce a single instruction
i'm really interested in handling even uncanonical patterns.
Other than these 6 patterns, i can't think of any other
reasonable variants right now, although i'm sure they exist.
