[x86 PATCH] Avoid andn and generate shorter not;and with -Oz.

The x86 instruction encoding for SImode andn is longer than the
equivalent notl/andl sequence when the source for the not operand
is the same register as the destination.  This patch adds post_reload
splitters to i386.md to avoid "-mbmi" (which enables andn) increasing
code size with "-Oz".

One minor subtlety with this patch is that the splitter for
*andn_si_ccno swaps the order of operands (match_dup 2 and match_dup 3)
as memory operands need to appear first in the *test<mode>_1 patterns.

This patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with make bootstrap
and make -k check, both with and without --target_board=unix{-m32},
with no new failures [and like the previous patch on CSiBE].
Ok for mainline?
