    PR 104732: Simplify/fix DI mode logic expansion/splitting on -m32.

    This clean-up patch resolves PR testsuite/104732, the failure of the recent
    test gcc.target/i386/pr100711-1.c on 32-bit Solaris/x86.  Rather than just
    tweak the testcase, the proposed approach is to fix the underlying problem
    by removing the "TARGET_STV && TARGET_SSE2" conditionals from the DI mode
    logical operation expanders and pre-reload splitters in i386.md, which as
    I'll show generate inferior code (even a GCC 12 regression) on
!TARGET_64BIT
    whenever -mno-stv (such as Solaris) or -msse (but not -msse2).

    First a little bit of history.  In the beginning, DImode operations on
    i386 weren't defined by the machine description, and lowered during RTL
    expansion to SI mode operations.  The with PR 65105 in 2015, -mstv was
    added, together with a SWIM1248x mode iterator (later renamed to SWIM1248x)
    together with several *<code>di3_doubleword post-reload splitters that
    made use of register allocation to perform some double word operations
    in 64-but XMM registers.  A short while later in 2016, PR 70322 added
    similar support for one_cmpldi2.  All of this logic was dependent upon
    "!TARGET_64BIT && TARGET_STV && TARGET_SSE2".  With the passing of time,
    these conditions became irrelevant when in 2019, it was decided to split
    these double-word patterns before reload.
    https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2019-June/523877.html
    https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2019-October/532236.html
    Hence the current situation, where on most modern CPU architectures
    (where "TARGET_STV && TARGET_SSE2" is true), RTL is expanded with DI
    mode operations, that are then split into two SI mode instructions
    before reload, except on Solaris and other odd cases, where the splitting
    is to two SI mode instructions is done during RTL expansion.  By the
    time compilation reaches register allocation both paths in theory
    produce identical or similar code, so the vestigial legacy/logic would
    appear to be harmless.

    Unfortunately, there is one place where this arbitrary choice of how
    to lower DI mode doubleword operations is visible to the middle-end,
    it controls whether the backend appears to have a suitable optab, and
    the presence (or not) of DImode optabs can influence vectorization
    cost models and veclower decisions.

    The issue (and code quality regression) can be seen in this test case:

    typedef long long v2di __attribute__((vector_size (16)));
    v2di x;
    void foo (long long a)
    {
        v2di t = {a, a};
        x = ~t;
    }

    which when compiled with "-O2 -m32 -msse -march=pentiumpro" produces:

    foo:    subl    $28, %esp
            movl    %ebx, 16(%esp)
            movl    32(%esp), %eax
            movl    %esi, 20(%esp)
            movl    36(%esp), %edx
            movl    %edi, 24(%esp)
            movl    %eax, %esi
            movl    %eax, %edi
            movl    %edx, %ebx
            movl    %edx, %ecx
            notl    %esi
            notl    %ebx
            movl    %esi, (%esp)
            notl    %edi
            notl    %ecx
            movl    %ebx, 4(%esp)
            movl    20(%esp), %esi
            movl    %edi, 8(%esp)
            movl    16(%esp), %ebx
            movl    %ecx, 12(%esp)
            movl    24(%esp), %edi
            movss   8(%esp), %xmm1
            movss   12(%esp), %xmm2
            movss   (%esp), %xmm0
            movss   4(%esp), %xmm3
            unpcklps        %xmm2, %xmm1
            unpcklps        %xmm3, %xmm0
            movlhps %xmm1, %xmm0
            movaps  %xmm0, x
            addl    $28, %esp
            ret

    Importantly notice the four "notl" instructions.  With this patch:

    foo:    subl    $28, %esp
            movl    32(%esp), %edx
            movl    36(%esp), %eax
            notl    %edx
            movl    %edx, (%esp)
            notl    %eax
            movl    %eax, 4(%esp)
            movl    %edx, 8(%esp)
            movl    %eax, 12(%esp)
            movaps  (%esp), %xmm1
            movaps  %xmm1, x
            addl    $28, %esp
            ret

    Notice only two "notl" instructions.  Checking with godbolt.org, GCC
    generated 4 NOTs in GCC 4.x and 5.x, 2 NOTs between GCC 6.x and 9.x,
    and regressed to 4 NOTs since GCC 10.x [which hopefully qualifies
    this clean-up as suitable for stage 4].

    Most significantly, this patch allows pr100711-1.c to pass with
    -mno-stv, allowing pandn to be used with V2DImode on Solaris/x86.
    Fingers-crossed this should reduce the number of discrepancies
    encountered supporting Solaris/x86.
