match.pd: simplify (view_convert (BIT_FIELD_REF))

This patch adds a match.pd transformation to strip unnecessary
view_converts of BIT_FIELD_REFs.  This is only valid when the type of the
view_convert is a register type, and no loss of precision is involved when
casting to an integer type; both of these conditions are checked for in
the if clause of the new pattern.

The change survives bootstrap + regtest on aarch64 and x86_64, and one
additional test case has been added to gcc.dg/tree-ssa.

Changes since v1:
	- Require is_gimple_reg_type (type) and remove conditions on @0
	- Reword the commit message to reflect code changes

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* match.pd: Add pattern to simplify view_convert (BIT_FIELD_REF).

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gcc.dg/tree-ssa/forwprop-42.c: New test.
