Sanjay Patel 66f7fdb300 [InstCombine] fold lshr (sext X), C1 --> zext (lshr X, C2)
This was discussed in D33338. We have larger pattern-matching ending in a truncate that 
we can reduce or remove by handling these smaller patterns first. Further motivation is 
that narrower shift ops are easier for value tracking and zext is better than sext.

Name: boolshift
%sext = sext i1 %x to i8
%r = lshr i8 %sext, 7

=>

%r = zext i1 %x to i8

Name: noboolshift
%sext = sext i3 %x to i8
%r = lshr i8 %sext, 7

=>

%sh = lshr i3 %x, 2
%r = zext i3 %sh to i8
