Fold ctz(-x) and ctz(abs(x)) as ctz(x) in match.pd.
The subject line pretty much says it all; the count-trailing-zeros function
of -X and abs(X) produce the same result as count-trailing-zeros of X.
This transformation eliminates a negation which may potentially overflow
with an equivalent expression that doesn't [much like the analogous
abs(-X) simplification in match.pd].
I'd noticed this -X equivalence, which isn't mentioned in Hacker's Delight,
investigating whether ranger's non_zero_bits can help determine whether
an integer variable may be converted to a floating point type exactly
(without raising FE_INEXACT), but it turns out this observation isn't
novel, as (disappointingly) LLVM already performs this same folding.
