[patch] arm.c: Adjust costs for the RSB instruction.

Hi,

Attached is a patch to adjust costs for the RSB instruction.

This patch teaches rtx_costs to treat a minus with a shift the same as
a minus without a shift.

Without this patch, arm-none-eabi -mcpu=cortex-a8 -O2 produces a
multiplication by 23 like so:

       mov     r3, #23
       mul     r0, r3, r0

With this patch, you get:

       add     r3, r0, r0, asl #1
       rsb     r0, r0, r3, asl #3

Some multiplications by other multipliers are also improved.

Tested on arm-none-eabi on top of the two synth_mult patches posted
recently.  OK to apply?
