elimination of a sign extend to be a win, which simplifies
the client of CanEvaluateSExtd, and allows us to eliminate
more casts (examples taken from real code).

lshr+ashr instead of trunc+sext. We want to avoid type
conversions whenever possible, it is easier to codegen expressions
without truncates and extensions.

1) don't try to optimize a sext or zext that is only used by a trunc, let
the trunc get optimized first. This avoids some pointless effort in
some common cases since instcombine scans down a block in the first pass.
2) Change the cost model for zext elimination to consider an 'and' cheaper
than a zext. This allows us to do it more aggressively, and for the next
patch to simplify the code quite a bit.

commonIntCastTransforms into the callers, eliminating a switch,
and allowing the static predicate methods to be moved down to
live next to the corresponding function. No functionality
change.

Previously, instcombine would only promote an expression tree to
the larger type if doing so eliminated two casts. This is because
a need to manually do the sign extend after the promoted expression
tree with two shifts. Now, we keep track of whether the result of
the computation is going to be properly sign extended already. If
so, we can unconditionally promote the expression, which allows us
to zap more sext's.
