Previously if we were only using the low bits of AuxInt,
the high bits were ignored and could be junk. This CL
changes that behavior to define the high bits to be the
sign-extended version of the low bits for all cases.
There are 2 main benefits:
- Deterministic representation. This helps with CSE.
(Const8 [0x1]) and (Const8 [0x101]) used to be the same "value"
but CSE couldn't see them as such.
- Testability. We can check that all ops leave AuxInt in a state
consistent with the new rule. In the old scheme, it was hard
to check whether a rule correctly used only the low-order bits.
Side benefits:
- ==0 and !=0 tests are easier.
Drawbacks:
- This differs from the runtime representation in registers,
where it is important that we allow upper bits to be undefined
(so we're not sign/zero-extending all the time).
- Ops that treat AuxInt as unsigned (shifts, mostly) need to be
a bit more careful.

Start working on arm port. Gets close to correct
code for fibonacci:
func fib(n int) int {
if n < 2 {
return n
}
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
}
Still a lot to do, but this is a good starting point.
Cleaned up some arch-specific dependencies in regalloc.
