This CL modifies how MOV[DWHB] instructions that store a constant to
memory are assembled to avoid them clobbering the condition code
(flags). It also modifies zeroAuto to use MOVD instructions instead of
CLEAR (which is assembled as XC).
MOV[DWHB]storeconst ops also no longer clobbers flags.
Note: this CL modifies the assembler so that it can no longer handle
immediates outside the range of an int16 or offsets from SB, which
reflects what the machine instructions support. The compiler doesn't
need this capability any more and I don't think this affects any existing
assembly, but it is easy to workaround if it does.
Fixes#20187.
