This lets it save a few instructions on x86 and arm.

cast(UInt(16), lerp(some_u8s)) produces the following, before and after
this PR

Before:

x86:

	vmovdqu	(%r15,%r13), %xmm4
	vpmovzxbw	-2(%r15,%r13), %ymm5

After:

x86:

	vpmovzxbw	-2(%r15,%r13), %ymm3

	vmovdqu	%ymm3, (%rbp,%r13,2)
	addq	$16, %r13
	decq	%r10
	jne	.LBB0_10

arm:

	ldr	q0, [x17]
	ldur	q2, [x17, #-1]
	ldur	q1, [x17, #-2]
	subs	x0, x0, #1                      // =1

	umlal2	v0.8h, v1.16b, v3.16b
	ursra	v4.8h, v4.8h, #8
	ursra	v0.8h, v0.8h, #8
	urshr	v1.8h, v4.8h, #8
	urshr	v0.8h, v0.8h, #8
	add	x17, x17, #16                   // =16

	add	x18, x18, #32                   // =32

So on X86 we skip a pointless and instruction, and on ARM we get a
rounding add and shift right instead of a rounding narrowing add shift
right followed by a widen.
