Given a sextload i16, we can usually generate "ldrsh [rn. rm]". If we
don't naturally have a rn, rm addressing mode, we can either generate
"ldrh [rn, #0]; sxth" or "mov rm, #0; ldrsh [rn. rm]".
We currently generate the first, always creating a sxth. They are both
the same number of instructions, but if we generate the second then the
mov #0 will likely be CSE'd or pulled out of a loop, etc.
This adjusts the ISel patterns to do that, creating a mov instead of a
sxth.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))
