Richard Sandiford a481f58542 [SystemZ] Prefer LHI;ST... over LAY;MV... ...

If we had a store of an integer to memory, and the integer and store size
were suitable for a form of MV..., we used MV... no matter what.  We could
then have sequences like:

    lay %r2, 0(%r3,%r4)
    mvi 0(%r2), 4

In these cases it seems better to force the constant into a register
and use a normal store:

    lhi %r2, 4
    stc %r2, 0(%r3, %r4)

since %r2 is more likely to be hoisted and is easier to rematerialize.
