bitops: Provide sextract32() and sextract64()
A common operation in instruction decoding is to take a field
from an instruction that represents a signed integer in some
arbitrary number of bits, and sign extend it into a C signed
integer type for manipulation. Provide new functions sextract32()
and sextract64() which perform this operation; they are like
the existing extract32() and extract64() except that the field
is sign-extended into the returned result.
