Hi,

This patch is a small optimization for the RL78 target that uses the 
'clrb' instruction where possible when performing a zero-extend instead 
of 'mov'ing a literal #0.  This saves a byte on each operation.

Regards,

Richard

	* config/rl78/rl78-real.md (zero_extendqihi2_real):
	Minor optimization to use clrb instruction where possible,
	which is 1 byte shorter than 'mov'ing #0.

This is OK after 4.9 branches (i.e. stage1).  I suspect we could add
AX to the first alternative, although I don't know if it will get
used.  We could add HL to the second alternative to complete the
replacement of the 'r' constraint.
