Fix spillslot reload of narrow values: zero-extend, don't sign-extend.

Previously, the x64 backend's ABI code would generate a sign-extending
load when loading a less-than-64-bit integer from a spillslot. This is
incorrect: e.g., for i32s > 0x80000000, this would result in all high
bits set.

This interacts poorly with another optimization. Normally, the invariant
is that the high bits of a register holding a value of a certain type,
beyond that type's bits, are undefined. However, as an optimization, we
recognize and use the fact that on x86-64, 32-bit instructions zero the
upper 32 bits. This allows us to elide a 32-to-64-bit zero-extend op
(turning it into just a move, which can then sometimes disappear
entirely due to register coalescing).

If a spill and reload happen between the production of a 32-bit value
from an instruction known to zero the upper bits and its use, then we
will rely on zero upper bits that might actually be set by a
sign-extend. This will result in incorrect execution.

As a fix, we stick to a simple invariant: we always spill and reload a
full 64 bits when handling integer registers on x64. This ensures that
no bits are mangled.
