[Hexagon] Minimize number of repeated constant extenders

Each constant extender requires an extra instruction, which adds to the
code size and also reduces the number of available slots in an instruction
packet. In most cases, the value of a repeated constant extender could be
loaded into a register, and the instructions using the extender could be
replaced with their counterparts that use that register instead.

This patch adds a pass that tries to reduce the number of constant
extenders, including extenders which differ only in an immediate offset
known at compile time, e.g. @global and @global+12.
