The tests for the SIMD floating-point maximum and minimum operations
require particular care because the handling of the NaN values is
non-deterministic and may vary between platforms. There is no way to
match several NaN values in a test, so the solution is to extract the
non-deterministic test cases into a separate file that is subsequently
replicated for every backend under test, with adjustments made to the
expected results.

There has been occasional confusion with the representation that we use
for bool-typed values in registers, at least when these are wider than
one bit. Does a `b8` store `true` as 1, or as all-ones (`0xff`)?
We've settled on the latter because of some use-cases where the wide
bool becomes a mask -- see #2058 for more on this.
This is fine, and transparent, to most operations within CLIF, because
the bool-typed value still has only two semantically-visible states,
namely `true` and `false`.
However, we have to be careful with bool-to-int conversions. `bint` on
aarch64 correctly masked the all-ones value down to 0 or 1, as required
by the instruction specification, but on x64 it did not. This PR fixes
that bug and makes x64 consistent with aarch64.
While staring at this code I realized that `bextend` was also not
consistent with the all-ones invariant: it should do a sign-extend, not
a zero-extend as it previously did. This is also rectified and tested.
(Aarch64 also already had this case implemented correctly.)
Fixes#3003.
