I couldn't find a functional difference between 'i32' and 'i32 signext' on O32 (and similarly between 'i32' and 'i32 zeroext'). This makes sense because sign-extending i32 to i32 is a noop. I couldn't think of any benefits to using 'i32' for O32 and 'i32 signext' for N32/N64 so I decided to simplify the code.
