Scott Michel 3ad0263173 Make tblgen a little smarter about constants smaller than i32. Currently,
tblgen will complain if a sign-extended constant does not fit into a
data type smaller than i32, e.g., i16. This causes a problem when certain
hex constants are used, such as 0xff for byte masks or immediate xor
values.

tblgen will try the sign-extended value first and, if the sign extended
value would overflow, it tries to see if the unsigned value will fit.
Consequently, a software developer can now safely incant:

	(XORHIr16 R16C:$rA, 0xffff)

which is somewhat clearer and more informative than incanting:

	(XORHIr16 R16C:$rA, (i16 -1))

even if the two are bitwise equivalent.

Tblgen also outputs the 64-bit unsigned constant in the generated ISel code
when getTargetConstant() is invoked.
