    [V2][PR target/125387][RISC-V] Properly cost mulh for RISC-V
    
    Bah.  Sent the wrong version.  The integer multiply cost in the tuning
    structure already has COSTS_N_INSNS applied, so no need to apply it again
    (which causes the costs to skyrocket and the code generation we want to see not
    happen).

    This is a patch Raphael wrote a few years back, but which never got upstreamed.
    I can vaguely recall evaluating the patch and concluding to drop it both
    internally and from the queue of things to upstream.  But the details of how I
    reached that conclusion are lost.
    
    The core problem is we didn't recognize the fairly complex widening multiply
    RTL, so it got costed by recursion which is painful on its own.  To add insult
    to injury the input operands are TI mode which, IIRC, also increased the cost
    of the mulh insn.
    
    The net was a totally bogus cost, it was totally off the charts which in turn
    discouraged using multiplies for division-by-constant operations as can be seen
    in the BZ.
    
    This patch from Raphael fixes recognition of the mulh RTL and uses the integer
    multiply cost out of the costing structure.  This results in sensible costs for
    the multiply and using a multiply-by-reciprocal instead of division in more
    cases.
    
    It's been tested on riscv32-elf and riscv64-elf without regressions.  I haven't
    bootstrapped it as I had my system disabled yesterday for "reasons".  I'll
    obviously wait for the pre-commit verdict.
