[RISCV] Custom type legalize i32 loads by sign extending.

The default is to use extload which can become a zextload or
sextload if it is followed by an 'and' or sext_inreg.

Sometimes type legalization will introduce an 'and' from promoting
something like 'srl X, C' and a sext_inreg from from a setcc. The
'and' could be freely folded with the promoted 'srl' by using srliw,
but the sext_inreg can't be folded into a compare. DAG combiner
will see both of these choices and may decide to fold the 'and'
instead of the 'sext_inreg'. This forces the sext_inreg to become
a sext.w.

By picking sextload in the type legalizer we take this choice away.
Looking at spec2006 compiled with Zba and Zbb this appeared to be
net reduction in lines of code in the objdump disassembly output.

This is similar to what we do with i32 add/sub/mul/shl in
type legalization where we always emit a sext_inreg.
