With the extra optimisations we have done, these should now be fine to
enable by default. Which is what this patch does.

This attempts to teach the cost model in Arm that code such as:
%s = shl i32 %a, 3
%a = and i32 %s, %b
Can under Arm or Thumb2 become:
and r0, r1, r2, lsl #3
So the cost of the shift can essentially be free. To do this without
trying to artificially adjust the cost of the "and" instruction, it
needs to get the users of the shl and check if they are a type of
instruction that the shift can be folded into. And so it needs to have
access to the actual instruction in getArithmeticInstrCost, which if
available is added as an extra parameter much like getCastInstrCost.
We otherwise limit it to shifts with a single user, which should
hopefully handle most of the cases. The list of instruction that the
shift can be folded into include ADC, ADD, AND, BIC, CMP, EOR, MVN, ORR,
ORN, RSB, SBC and SUB. This translates to Add, Sub, And, Or, Xor and
ICmp.

This adds some extra cost model tests for shifts, and does some minor
adjustments to some Neon code to make it clear as to what it applies to.
Both NFC.
