[PATCH] Add a truncation warning for values under a bitwise or

  This essentially looks fine to me; a couple of possible tweaks below.

  Regarding Arthur O'Dwyer's comment, has your testing found any cases of the form

      char c = ~0x1f | x;

  (and were they bugs or not)? I'm conflicted on this: it's a questionable way of writing that expression, but it doesn't seem to clearly signal a bug.

----------------
Maybe this should recurse on operands that are themselves binary operators? Consider a case like:

    enum E { K = 0x200 };
    extern char c1, c2;
    char c3 = K | c1 | c2;

It'd be nice to use an on-by-default warning for this case, as we will if K is the last term.

----------------
Can you guard this case by the `SourceRange.Width > TargetRange.Width` check? That'd allow us to avoid the extra `EvalAsInt` calls in cases which we've already determined can't narrow. I think that would change our results in some corner cases:

    char c1 = 0x1234 ^ 0x1256;
    // and particularly...
    char c2 = 0x1234 & 0x7f;

... would no longer warn. I think that's an improvement.
