tcg/optimize: fix constant signedness

By convention, on a 64-bit host TCG internally stores 32-bit constants
as sign-extended. This is not the case in the optimizer when a 32-bit
constant is folded.

This doesn't seem to have more consequences than suboptimal code
generation. For instance the x86 backend assumes sign-extended constants,
and in some rare cases uses a 32-bit unsigned immediate 0xffffffff
instead of a 8-bit signed immediate 0xff for the constant -1. This is
with a ppc guest:
