This operation extracts a number of bits at a given offset and sign or zero extends them, which is done by emitting it as a left shift followed by a right shift. This is being added for use in clang for C++ structured bindings of bitfields that have offset or size that aren't a byte multiple. A new operation is being added, instead of shifts being used directly, as it makes correctly handling it in optimisations (which will be done in a later patch) much easier.
