This patch adds single-bit and bit-counting ops to list of sign-extending ops.
A single-bit write propagates sign-extendedness if it's not in the sign-bits.
Bit extraction and bit counting always outputs a small number, so sign-extended.

Where the instruction mnemonic contains a dot, we name the corresponding
instruction in the .td file using a _ in the place of the dot. e.g. LR_W
rather than LRW. This commit updates RISCVInstrInfoZb.td to follow that
convention.
Function calls and compare instructions tend to cause sext.w
instructions to be inserted. If we make good use of W instructions,
these operations can often end up being redundant. We don't always
detect these during SelectionDAG due to things like phis. There also
some cases caused by failure to turn extload into sextload in
SelectionDAG. extload selects to LW allowing later sext.ws to become
redundant.
This patch adds a pass that examines the input of sext.w instructions trying
to determine if it is already sign extended. Either by finding a
W instruction, other instructions that produce a sign extended result,
or looking through instructions that propagate sign bits. It uses
a worklist and visited set to search as far back as necessary.
