[Bug target/44999] New: "and r0, r0, #255" can be replace with uxtb in thumb2

[carrot at google dot com]

Compile the following code with options -march=armv7-a -mthumb -Os

int tp(int x, int y)
{
  return (x & 0xff) - (y & 0xffff);
}

GCC generates:

        uxth    r1, r1
        and     r0, r0, #255   //A
        subs    r0, r0, r1
        bx      lr

Instruction A is 32 bit, it can be replace by uxtb, a 16 bit equivalent
instruction.

A possible implementation is to call gen_thumb2_zero_extendqisi2_v6 in pattern
(define_expand "andsi3").
