Small test file to show x86 signext i16 returns

In the attached .ll file is a small function that has a return type of "signext
i16". From the LLVM Language Reference, it seems that the value returned ought
to be sign extended to the word width (i32) of the target in this case.

Experimentation showed that sign extension was the case in 3.8.

        movswl  -2(%rsp), %eax

However, in 3.9 the sign extension changed to a zero extension.

        movzwl  -2(%rsp), %eax

This zero extension can be seen in my latest "master" branch build as well.

To reproduce:
