This information is not preserved in MIR today. So this patch adds
information to RISCVMachineFunctionInfo when the vreg is created for
the argument.

We can use lw to load 4 bytes from the stack and sign extend them
instead of loading all 8 bytes.

Backwards search
The sext.w removal pass (before the new patch) checks if the input to sext.w is already in sign-extended form, so it can eliminate it. It does that by checking every definition/source that reaches the sext.w is an instruction that produces a sign-extended value, either by definition (e.g. ADDW), or it propagates sign-extension (e.g. OR) so we check its sources recursively.
Forward search
Sometimes, one of the sources is an instruction that doesn't always produce a sign-extended value, but it has a W-version that does (e.g. ADD / ADDW). If we transform the ADD to ADDW, the sext.w can be removed (assuming other def paths are satisfied), but this transformation is sound only if every use of this ADD/W only reqruires the lower 32-bits either directly (like sll %x, 32) or they propagate dependency (lower word of output only depends on lower word of input) so we check its uses recursively.
When searching backwards, if an instruction that can be replaced with W-variant is encountered, this pass runs the forward search to verify it can be replaced, then adds it to a list of fixable instructions. After verifying all paths, it replaces the instruction and removes the sext.w.

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.
