Summary:
When promoting fp-to-uint16 to fp-to-sint32, the result is actually zero
extended. For example, given double 65534.0, without legalization:
fp-to-uint16: 65534.0 -> 0xfffe
With the legalization:
fp-to-sint32: 65534.0 -> 0x0000fffe
Without this patch, legalization wrongly emits a signed extend assertion,
which is consumed by later icmp instruction, and cause miscompile.
Note that the floating point value must be in [0, 65535), otherwise the
behavior is undefined.
This patch reverts r279223 behavior and adds more tests and
documentations.
In PR29041's context, James Molloy mentioned that:
We don't need to mask because conversion from float->uint8_t is
undefined if the integer part of the float value is not representable in
uint8_t. Therefore we can assume this doesn't happen!
which is totally true and good, because fptoui is documented clearly to
have undefined behavior when overflow/underflow happens. We should take
the advantage of this behavior so that we can save unnecessary mask
instructions.

The heuristic above this code is incredibly suspect, but disregarding that it mutates the cast opcode so we need to check the *mutated* opcode later to see if we need to emit an AssertSext or AssertZext node.
Fixes PR29041.
