Test case

In order to load a value from a packed struct of 8 bools, the Zig compiler
generates code as follows:

%1 = load i8, i8* %ptr_to_packed_struct, align 1
%2 = lshr i8 %1, %target_bit_offset
%3 = trunc i8 %2 to i1

This seems to cause LLVM to not actually perform the truncation in very
esoteric cases, and the upper bits of %3 are not cleared. This would be fine of
course, i expect those to be allowed to be undefined, though when the resulting
value is compared with another i1 with the same truthiness (but a differing
backing bit value), an incorrect result is generated. See the attached test
case, which prints "error" when this case is detected. The incorrect value is
generated in %14 in function @b, and is later compared for equality with 1 in
function @a to produce `false` in %17 in @a.

This only seems to manifest itself when two components are available: the
original packed struct needs to be part of a union, and the resulting bit value
(after the pointer load) needs to be passed on the stack.

The related Zig issue is https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/9584. Note that
the attached test case was made by creating a similar case in C, and rewriting
it a bit to trigger the incorrect behavior. For this kind of code, clang
generates an additional and operation between the lshr and trunc, though
according to the semantics of trunc i would expect that to be included.

In Zig, this case is only triggered in debug mode. When I tested that with the
attached test case, clang crashed (see below). The test case is to be compiled
simply with `clang -otest test.ll` to create the incorrect code described
above, and adding `-O2` yields the segmentation fault below.
