arm32, bpf: add support for sign-extension load instruction
The cpuv4 added the support of an instruction that is similar to load but also sign-extends the result after the load. BPF_MEMSX | <size> | BPF_LDX means dst = *(signed size *) (src + offset) here <size> can be one of BPF_B, BPF_H, BPF_W. ARM32 has instructions to load a byte or a half word with sign extension into a 32bit register. As the JIT uses two 32 bit registers to simulate a 64-bit BPF register, an extra instruction is emitted to sign-extent the result up to the second register.
