This pattern can be often met in Flang generated LLVM IR,
for example, for the counts of the loops generated for array
expressions like: `a(x:x+y)` or `a(x+z:x+z)` or their variations.

In order to compute the loop count, Flang needs to subtract
the lower bound of the array slice from the upper bound
of the array slice. To avoid the sign wraps, it sign extends
the original values (that may be of any user data type)
to `i64`.

This peephole is really helpful in CPU2017/548.exchange2,
where we have multiple following statements like this:
```
block(row+1:row+2, 7:9, i7) = block(row+1:row+2, 7:9, i7) - 10
```

While this is just a 2x3 iterations loop nest, LLVM cannot
figure it out, ending up vectorizing the inner loop really
hard (with a vector epilog and scalar remainder). This, in turn,
causes problems for LSR that ends up creating too many loop-carried
values in the loop containing the above statement, which are then
causing too many spills/reloads.
