[InstCombine] fold cast of right-shift if high bits are not demanded (3rd try)
The first two tries at this were reverted because they caused an
infinite loop in instcombine.
That should be fixed after a series of patches that ended with
removing the faulty opposing transform:

Original commit message:
(masked) trunc (lshr X, C) --> (masked) lshr (trunc X), C
Narrowing the shift should be better for analysis and can lead
to follow-on transforms as shown.
