Add a gen_int_shift_amount helper function

This patch adds a helper routine that constructs rtxes
for constant shift amounts, given the mode of the value
being shifted.  As well as helping with the SVE patches, this
is one step towards allowing CONST_INTs to have a real mode.

One long-standing problem has been to decide what the mode
of a shift count should be for arbitrary rtxes (as opposed to those
directly tied to a target pattern).  Realistic choices would be
the mode of the shifted elements, word_mode, QImode, a 64-bit mode,
or the same mode as the shift optabs (in which case what should the
mode be when the target doesn't have a pattern?)

For now the patch picks a 64-bit mode, but with a ??? comment.
