Use simplify_gen_binary in canon_rtx
After simplifying the operands of a PLUS, canon_rtx checked only
for cases in which one of the simplified operands was a constant,
falling back to gen_rtx_PLUS otherwise. This left the PLUS in a
non-canonical order if one of the simplified operands was
(plus (reg R1) (const_int X)); we'd end up with:
(plus (plus (reg R1) (const_int Y)) (reg R2))
rather than:
(plus (plus (reg R1) (reg R2)) (const_int Y))
Fixing this exposed new DSE opportunities on spu-elf in
gcc.c-torture/execute/builtins/strcat-chk.c but otherwise
it doesn't seem to have much practical effect.
