We have rtx_mode_t for that. But there are 240+ calls to expand_binop,
and even if we add an overload that will transform it, unless we forcefully
inline it wouldn't that slow down all the spots a little bit?
The thing is, for the vast majority of binary ops we don't need the operand
modes, it is mainly comparisons, second arg of shifts/rotates and this
widening case.
