Lower the i8 extension in memset to a multiply instead of a potentially long series of shifts and ors.

We could implement a DAGCombine to turn x * 0x0101 back into logic operations
on targets that doesn't support the multiply or it is slow (p4) if someone cares
enough.

Example code:
  void test(char *s, int a) {
      __builtin_memset(s, a, 4);
  }
before:
  _test:                                  ## @test
    movzbl  8(%esp), %eax
    movl  %eax, %ecx
    shll  $8, %ecx
    orl %eax, %ecx
    movl  %ecx, %eax
    shll  $16, %eax
    orl %ecx, %eax
    movl  4(%esp), %ecx
    movl  %eax, 4(%ecx)
    movl  %eax, (%ecx)
    ret
after:
  _test:                                  ## @test
    movzbl  8(%esp), %eax
    imull $16843009, %eax, %eax   ## imm = 0x1010101
    movl  4(%esp), %ecx
    movl  %eax, 4(%ecx)
    movl  %eax, (%ecx)
    ret
