[mips] Materialize constants for multiplication

Previously, the MIPS backend would alwyas break down constant multiplications
into a series of shifts, adds, and subs. This patch changes that so the cost of
doing so is estimated.

The cost is estimated against worst case constant materialization and retrieving
the results from the HI/LO registers.

For cases where the value type of the multiplication is not legal, the cost of
legalization is estimated and is accounted for before performing the
optimization of breaking down the constant

This resolves PR36884.

Thanks to npl for reporting the issue!
