[release-branch.go1.9] cmd/compile: fix sign-extension merging rules

If we have

  y = <int16> (MOVBQSX x)
  z = <int32> (MOVWQSX y)

We used to use this rewrite rule:

(MOVWQSX x:(MOVBQSX _)) -> x

But that resulted in replacing z with a value whose type
is only int16.  Then if z is spilled and restored, it gets
zero extended instead of sign extended.

Instead use the rule

(MOVWQSX (MOVBQSX x)) -> (MOVBQSX x)

The result is has the correct type, so it can be spilled
and restored correctly.  It might mean that a few more extension
ops might not be eliminated, but that's the price for correctness.

Fixes #21963
