PPC: Optimize rldicl generation for masked shifts

Masking operations (where only some number of the low bits are being kept) are
selected to rldicl(x, 0, mb). If x is a logical right shift (which would become
rldicl(y, 64-n, n)), we might be able to fold the two instructions together:

  rldicl(rldicl(x, 64-n, n), 0, mb) -> rldicl(x, 64-n, mb) for n <= mb

The right shift is really a left rotate followed by a mask, and if the explicit
mask is a more-restrictive sub-mask of the mask implied by the shift, only one
rldicl is needed.
