  This patch corrects the overestimation of the relative cost of
'(set (reg) (const_int N))' where N fits into the instruction itself.

In fact, such overestimation confuses the RTL loop invariant motion pass.
As a result, it brings almost no negative impact from the speed point of
view, but addtiional reg-reg move instructions and register allocation
pressure about the size.

    /* example, optimized for size */
    extern int foo(void);
    extern int array[16];
    void test_0(void) {
      unsigned int i;
      for (i = 0; i < sizeof(array)/sizeof(*array); ++i)
        array[i] = 1024;
    }
    void test_1(void) {
      unsigned int i;
      for (i = 0; i < sizeof(array)/sizeof(*array); ++i)
        array[i] = array[i] ? 1024 : 0;
    }
    void test_2(void) {
      unsigned int i;
      for (i = 0; i < sizeof(array)/sizeof(*array); ++i)
        array[i] = foo() ? 0 : 1024;
    }

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* config/xtensa/xtensa.cc (xtensa_rtx_costs):
	Change the relative cost of '(set (reg) (const_int N))' where
	N fits into signed 12-bit from 4 to 0 if optimizing for size.
	And use the appropriate macro instead of the bare number 4.
