Try simplifying memory operands during optabs expansion

This is the main change that motivated the less-than-successful
optabs interface "cleanup".  Tree expansion yields MEMs that are
legitimiate memory_operands, but it's not uncommon for some optabs
to need a more restricted type of address.  This patch records
whether operands can be memories, and makes maybe_legitimize_operand
try to simplify memory addresses if the original MEM doesn't match.

allows_mem is really a property of the predicate, rather than the
operand itself, so in some ways it might be cleaner to have a
"predicate" type that contains the function and some information
about it.  However, that seems like overkill here, and would just
mean more pointer chasing.  allows_mem sits neatly in an unused
part of the existing operand structure, and these chars could
be converted to bitfields if more flags were added in future.

A quick search revealed one potential use in h8300.md:

(define_expand "movstr"
  [(use (match_operand 0 "register_operand" ""))
   (use (match_operand:BLK 1 "memory_operand" ""))
   (use (match_operand:BLK 2 "memory_operand" ""))]
  "TARGET_H8300SX"
  {
    operands[1] = replace_equiv_address
      (operands[1], copy_to_mode_reg (Pmode, XEXP (operands[1], 0)));
    operands[2] = replace_equiv_address
      (operands[2], copy_to_mode_reg (Pmode, XEXP (operands[2], 0)));
    emit_insn (gen_movsd (operands[1], operands[2], gen_reg_rtx (Pmode)));
    emit_insn (gen_add3_insn (operands[0],
			      XEXP (operands[1], 0),
			      constm1_rtx));
    DONE;
  })

x86's cmpstrnsi and pa's movmemsi might be candidates too.  There's a
port in the works where this occurs much more often, but my personal
motivation was that, if the ARM's load/store-lane instructions were
exposed as optabs, they too would need this handling.

Tested on arm-linux-gnueabi with the WIP ARM optabs changes.
OK to install?
