    Optimize (ne:SI (subreg:QI (ashift:SI x 7) 0) 0) as (and:SI x 1).

    This patch is the middle-end piece of an improvement to PRs 101955 and
    106245, that adds a missing simplification to the RTL optimizers.
    This transformation is to simplify (char)(x << 7) != 0 as x & 1.
    Technically, the cast can be any truncation, where shift is by one
    less than the narrower type's precision, setting the most significant
    (only) bit from the least significant bit.

    This transformation applies to any target, but it's easy to see
    (and add a new test case) on x86, where the following function:

    int f(int a) { return (a << 31) >> 31; }

    currently gets compiled with -O2 to:

    foo:    movl    %edi, %eax
            sall    $7, %eax
            sarb    $7, %al
            movsbl  %al, %eax
            ret

    but with this patch, we now generate the slightly simpler.

    foo:    movl    %edi, %eax
            sall    $31, %eax
            sarl    $31, %eax
            ret
