cmd/compile: implement shifts by signed amounts

Allow shifts by signed amounts. Panic if the shift amount is negative.

TODO: We end up doing two compares per shift, see Ian's comment
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19113#issuecomment-443241799 that
we could do it with a single comparison in the normal case.

The prove pass mostly handles this code well. For instance, it removes the
<0 check for cases like this:
    if s >= 0 { _ = x << s }
    _ = x << len(a)

This case isn't handled well yet:
    _ = x << (y & 0xf)
I'll do followon CLs for unhandled cases as needed.

Update #19113
