Summary:
This is valid for any `sext` bitwidth pair:
```
Processing /tmp/opt.ll..
----------------------------------------
%signed = sext %y
%r = shl %x, %signed
ret %r
=>
%unsigned = zext %y
%r = shl %x, %unsigned
ret %r
%signed = sext %y
Done: 2016
Optimization is correct!
```
(This isn't so for funnel shifts, there it's illegal for e.g. i6->i7.)
Main motivation is the C++ semantics:
```
int shl(int a, char b) {
return a << b;
}
```
ends as
```
%3 = sext i8 %1 to i32
%4 = shl i32 %0, %3
```

which is, as this shows, too pessimistic.
There is another problem here - we can only do the fold
if sext is one-use. But we can trivially have cases
where several shifts have the same sext shift amount.
This should be resolved, later.
