[RISCV] Generalize (sub zext, zext) -> (sext (sub zext, zext)) to add (#86248)
This generalizes the combine added in #82455 to other binary ops, beginning with adds in this patch. Because the two zext operands are always +ve when treated as signed, and we don't get any overflow since the add is carried out in at least N * 2 bits of the narrow type, the result of the add will always be +ve. So we can use a zext for the outer extend, unlike sub which may produce a -ve result from two +ve operands. Although we could still use sext for add, I plan to add support for other binary ops like mul in a later patch, but mul requires zext to be correct (because the maximum value will take up the full N * 2 bits). So I've opted to use zext here too for consistency. Alive2 proof: https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/PRNsUM
