cmd/compile: add signed divisibility by power of 2 rules

For powers of two (c=1<<k), the divisibility check x%c == 0 can be made
just by checking the trailing zeroes via a mask x&(c-1) == 0 even for signed
integers. This avoids division fix-ups when just divisibility check is needed.

To apply this rule, we match on the fixed-up version of the division. This is
neccessary because the mod and division rewrite rules are already applied
during the initial opt pass.

The speed up on amd64 due to elimination of unneccessary fix-up code is ~55%:

A follow-up CL will address the general case of x%c == 0 for signed integers.
