cmd/compile: use MOV pseudo-instructions for sign/zero extension

Rather than handling sign and zero extension via rules, defer to the assembler
and use MOV pseudo-instructions. The instruction can also be omitted where the
type and size is already correct. This change results in more than 6,000
instructions being removed from the go binary (in part due to omitted
instructions, in part due to MOVBU having a more efficient implementation in
the assembler than what is used in the current ZeroExt8to{16,32,64} rules).

This will also allow for further rewriting to remove redundant sign/zero
extension.
