i386: Split lea into shorter left shift by 2 or 3 bits with -Oz.

This patch avoids long lea instructions for performing x<<2 and x<<3
by splitting them into shorter sal and move (or xchg instructions).
Because this increases the number of instructions, but reduces the
total size, its suitable for -Oz (but not -Os).

The impact can be seen in the new test case:

int foo(int x) { return x<<2; }
int bar(int x) { return x<<3; }
long long fool(long long x) { return x<<2; }
long long barl(long long x) { return x<<3; }

where with -O2 we generate:

foo:	lea    0x0(,%rdi,4),%eax	// 7 bytes
	retq
bar:	lea    0x0(,%rdi,8),%eax	// 7 bytes
	retq
fool:	lea    0x0(,%rdi,4),%rax	// 8 bytes
	retq
barl:	lea    0x0(,%rdi,8),%rax	// 8 bytes
	retq

and with -Oz we now generate:

foo:	xchg   %eax,%edi		// 1 byte
	shl    $0x2,%eax		// 3 bytes
	retq
bar:	xchg   %eax,%edi		// 1 byte
	shl    $0x3,%eax		// 3 bytes
	retq
fool:	xchg   %rax,%rdi		// 2 bytes
	shl    $0x2,%rax		// 4 bytes
	retq
barl:	xchg   %rax,%rdi		// 2 bytes
	shl    $0x3,%rax		// 4 bytes
	retq

Over the entirety of the CSiBE code size benchmark this saves 1347
bytes (0.037%) for x86_64, and 1312 bytes (0.036%) with -m32.
Conveniently, there's already a backend function in i386.cc for
deciding whether to split an lea into its component instructions,
ix86_avoid_lea_for_addr, all that's required is an additional
clause checking for -Oz (i.e. optimize_size > 1).
