Widening optab cleanup

widening_optab_handler had the comment:

      /* ??? Why does find_widening_optab_handler_and_mode attempt to
         widen things that can't be widened?  E.g. add_optab... */
      if (op > LAST_CONV_OPTAB)
        return CODE_FOR_nothing;

I think it comes from expand_binop using
find_widening_optab_handler_and_mode for two things: to test whether
a "normal" optab like add_optab is supported for a standard binary
operation and to test whether a "convert" optab is supported for a
widening operation like umul_widen_optab.  In the former case from_mode
and to_mode must be the same, in the latter from_mode must be narrower
than to_mode.

For the former case, find_widening_optab_handler_and_mode is only really
testing the modes that are passed in.  permit_non_widening must be true
here.

For the latter case, find_widening_optab_handler_and_mode should only
really consider new from_modes that are wider than the original
from_mode and narrower than the original to_mode.  Logically
permit_non_widening should be false, since widening optabs aren't
supposed to take operands that are the same width as the destination.
We get away with permit_non_widening being true because no target
would/should define an .md pattern with matching modes.

But really, it seems better for expand_binop to handle these two
cases itself rather than pushing them down.  With that change,
find_widening_optab_handler_and_mode is only ever called with
permit_non_widening set to false and is only ever called with
a "proper" convert optab.  We then no longer need widening_optab_handler,
we can just use convert_optab_handler directly.

The patch also passes the instruction code down to expand_binop_directly.
This should be more efficient and removes an extra call to
find_widening_optab_handler_and_mode.
