PR rtl-optimization/109476: Use ZERO_EXTEND instead of zeroing a SUBREG.

This patch fixes PR rtl-optimization/109476, which is a code quality
regression affecting AVR.  The cause is that the lower-subreg pass is
sometimes overly aggressive, lowering the LSHIFTRT below:

(insn 7 4 8 2 (set (reg:HI 51)
        (lshiftrt:HI (reg/v:HI 49 [ b ])
            (const_int 8 [0x8]))) "t.ii":4:36 557 {lshrhi3}
     (nil))

into a pair of QImode SUBREG assignments:

(insn 19 4 20 2 (set (subreg:QI (reg:HI 51) 0)
        (reg:QI 54 [ b+1 ])) "t.ii":4:36 86 {movqi_insn_split}
     (nil))
(insn 20 19 8 2 (set (subreg:QI (reg:HI 51) 1)
        (const_int 0 [0])) "t.ii":4:36 86 {movqi_insn_split}
     (nil))

but this idiom, SETs of SUBREGs, interferes with combine's ability
to associate/fuse instructions.  The solution, on targets that
have a suitable ZERO_EXTEND (i.e. where the lower-subreg pass
wouldn't itself split a ZERO_EXTEND, so "splitting_zext" is false),
is to split/lower LSHIFTRT to a ZERO_EXTEND.

To answer Richard's question in comment #10 of the bugzilla PR,
the function resolve_shift_zext is called with one of four RTX
codes, ASHIFTRT, LSHIFTRT, ZERO_EXTEND and ASHIFT, but only with
LSHIFTRT can the setting of low_part and high_part SUBREGs be
replaced by a ZERO_EXTEND.  For ASHIFTRT, we require a sign
extension, so don't set the high_part to zero; if we're splitting
a ZERO_EXTEND then it doesn't make sense to replace it with a
ZERO_EXTEND, and for ASHIFT we've played games to swap the
high_part and low_part SUBREGs, so that we assign the low_part
to zero (for double word shifts by greater than word size bits).

gcc/ChangeLog
	PR rtl-optimization/109476
	* lower-subreg.cc: Include explow.h for force_reg.
	(find_decomposable_shift_zext): Pass an additional SPEED_P argument.
	If decomposing a suitable LSHIFTRT and we're not splitting
	ZERO_EXTEND (based on the current SPEED_P), then use a ZERO_EXTEND
	instead of setting a high part SUBREG to zero, which helps combine.
	(decompose_multiword_subregs): Update call to resolve_shift_zext.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog
	PR rtl-optimization/109476
	* gcc.target/avr/mmcu/pr109476.c: New test case.
