Sanjay Patel ee0bf64722 [InstCombine] try to fold mul by neg-power-of-2 to shl ...

`(A * -2**C) + B --> B - (A << C)`

This inverts what Negator was doing before:
D134310 / 0f32a5dea0

Analysis and codegen are generally better without multiply,
so we should favor this form even if we trade add for sub
(because those are generally equivalent cost operations).
