[Mesa-stable] [PATCH v3] intel/compiler: fix brw_imm_w for negative 16-bit integers

16-bit immediates need to replicate the 16-bit immediate value
in both words of the 32-bit value. This needs to be careful
to avoid sign-extension, which the previous implementation was
not handling properly.

For example, with the previous implementation, storing the value
-3 would generate imm.d = 0xfffffffd due to signed integer sign
extension, which is not correct. Instead, we should cast to
uint16_t, which gives us the correct result: imm.ud = 0xfffdfffd.

We only had a couple of cases hitting this path in the driver
until now, one with value -1, which would work since all bits are
one in this case, and another with value -2 in brw_clip_tri(),
which would hit the aforementioned issue (this case only affects
gen4 although we are not aware of whether this was causing an
actual bug somewhere).

v2: Make explicit uint32_t casting for left shift (Jason Ekstrand)
