    6c, 6g, 6l: add MOVQL to make truncation explicit · e530d6a1
    Russ Cox authored
    Without an explicit signal for a truncation, copy propagation
    will sometimes propagate a 32-bit truncation and end up
    overwriting uses of the original 64-bit value.
    
    The case that arose in practice is in C but I believe
    that the same could plausibly happen in Go.
    The main reason we didn't run into the same in Go
    is that I (perhaps incorrectly?) drop MOVL AX, AX
    during gins, so the truncation was never generated, so
    it didn't confuse the optimizer.
    
    Fixes #1315.
    Fixes #3488.
