Alex Bradbury 3be8e2c95d [InstCombine] Prefer to keep power-of-2 constants when combining ashr exact and slt/ult of a constant (#86111) ...

We have flexibility in what constant to use when combining an `ashr
exact` with a slt or ult of a constant, and it's not possible to revisit
this decision later in the compilation pipeline after the `ashr exact`
is removed. Keeping a constant close to power-of-2 (pow2val + 1) should
be no worse than neutral, and in some cases may allow better codegen
later on for targets that can more cheaply generate power of 2 (which
may be selectable if converting back to setle/setge) or near power of 2
constants.
