Summary:
Turn (select C, (sext A), B) into (sext (select C, A, B')) when A is i1 and
B is a compatible constant, also for zext instead of sext. This will then be
further folded into logical operations.
The transformation would be valid for non-i1 types as well, but other parts of
InstCombine prefer to have sext from non-i1 as an operand of select.
Motivated by the shader compiler frontend in Mesa for AMDGPU, which emits i32
for boolean operations. With this change, the boolean logic is fully
recovered.
