[InstCombine] sink sext after ashr

Narrow ops are better for bit-tracking, and in the case of vectors,
may enable better codegen.

As the trunc test shows, this can allow follow-on simplifications.

There's a block of code in visitTrunc that deals with shifted ops
with FIXME comments. It may be possible to remove some of that now,
but I want to make sure there are no problems with this step first.

Name: hoist_ashr_ahead_of_sext_1
  %s = sext i8 %x to i32
  %r = ashr i32 %s, 3  ; shift value is < than source bit width
  =>
  %a = ashr i8 %x, 3
  %r = sext i8 %a to i32
  
Name: hoist_ashr_ahead_of_sext_2
  %s = sext i8 %x to i32
  %r = ashr i32 %s, 8  ; shift value is >= than source bit width
  =>
  %a = ashr i8 %x, 7   ; so clamp this shift value
  %r = sext i8 %a to i32
  
Name: junc_the_trunc  
  %a = sext i16 %v to i32
  %s = ashr i32 %a, 18
  %t = trunc i32 %s to i16
  =>
  %t = ashr i16 %v, 15
