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 fixups when just divisibility check is needed.

To apply this rule the generic divisibility rule for  A%B = A-(A/B*B) is disabled
on the "opt" pass, but this does not affect generated code as this rule is applied
later.

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

DivconstU8-4             0.93ns ± 1%  0.95ns ± 1%   +1.72%  (p=0.024 n=5+5)

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