[InstCombine] Bypass high bit extract before variable sign-extension (PR43523)
https://rise4fun.com/Alive/8BY - valid for lshr+trunc+variable sext
https://rise4fun.com/Alive/7jk - the variable sext can be redundant
https://rise4fun.com/Alive/Qslu - 'exact'-ness of first shift can be preserver
https://rise4fun.com/Alive/IF63 - without trunc we could view this as
more general "drop redundant mask before right-shift",
but let's handle it here for now
https://rise4fun.com/Alive/iip - likewise, without trunc, variable sext can be redundant.
There's more patterns for sure - e.g. we can have 'lshr' as the final shift,
but that might be best handled by some more generic transform, e.g.
"drop redundant masking before right-shift" (PR42456)
I'm singling-out this sext patch because you can only extract
high bits with `*shr` (unlike abstract bit masking),
and i *know* this fold is wanted by existing code.
I don't believe there is much to review here,
so i'm gonna opt into post-review mode here.
