op0 = abs (op1 - op2)

But that isn't the correct calculation for unsigned (where abs doesn't
really work).  It also doesn't handle some cases correctly for signed.

I think it's more:

  op0 = op1 > op2 ? (unsigned type) op1 - op2 : (unsigned type) op2 - op1

or (conceptually) max minus min.

E.g. for 16-bit values, the absolute difference between signed 0x7fff
and signed -0x8000 is 0xffff (reinterpreted as -1 if you cast back
to signed).  But, ignoring undefined behaviour:

  0x7fff - 0x8000 = -1
  abs(-1) = 1

which gives the wrong answer.

We might still be able to fold C abs(a - b) to abd for signed a and b
by relying on undefined behaviour (TYPE_OVERFLOW_UNDEFINED).  But we
can't do it for -fwrapv.

Richi knows better than me what would be appropriate here.

Thanks,
Richard
