Add force_lowpart_subreg

optabs had a local function called lowpart_subreg_maybe_copy
that is very similar to the lowpart version of force_subreg.
This patch adds a force_lowpart_subreg wrapper around
force_subreg.

The only difference between the old and new functions is that
the old one asserted success while the new one doesn't.
It's common not to assert elsewhere when taking subregs;
normally a null result is enough.

Later patches will make more use of the new function.

gcc/
	* explow.h (force_lowpart_subreg): Declare.
	* explow.cc (force_lowpart_subreg): New function.
