[PATCH][PR rtl-optimization/42522] Incorrect simplification of ZERO_EXTRACT and SIGN_EXTRACT by cse

[Jeff Law]

This bug has gone latent on the trunk; however, the problem still
remains that cse will incorrectly simplify a ZERO/SIGN_EXTRACT in some
cases.

ZERO/SIGN_EXTRACT are somewhat special in that if they are extracting
from a memory operand, that memory operand will always have QImode
regardless of the size of the extracted field.

ie, the mode of the MEM in a ZERO/SIGN_EXTRACT does not really mean
anything and the ZERO/SIGN_EXTRACT can read bits beyond QImode.

So given a (mem:QI x) with an equivalence to (const_int 0) in the hash
tables.  If we have an extraction like

(zero_extract:SI (mem:QI x) (const_int 0) (const_int 24))

CSE will substitute (const_int 0) for the MEM in the extraction resulting in

(zero_extract:SI (const_int 0) (const_int 0) (const_int 24))

Which simplifies to (const_int 0)

For REGs, the mode is the same as the operand of the insv/extv pattern,
and may (or may not) more closely resemble reality depending on the target.

The safe thing to do in CSE is to lookup the ZERO/SIGN_EXTRACT as a whole.

Given the bug is latent and not currently a regression this will need to
wait for the next stage1 development cycle.
