Apply ABI attributes on return types in `rustc_codegen_cranelift`
- The [x86-64 System V ABI standard](https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/x86-64-ABI/abi.pdf?job=build) doesn't sign/zero-extend integer arguments or return types.
- But the de-facto standard as implemented by Clang and GCC is to sign/zero-extend arguments to 32 bits (but not return types).
- Additionally, Apple targets [sign/zero-extend both arguments and return values to 32 bits](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/writing-64-bit-intel-code-for-apple-platforms#Pass-arguments-to-functions-correctly).
- However, the `rustc_target` ABI adjustment code currently [unconditionally extends both arguments and return values to 32 bits](e703dff8fe/compiler/rustc_target/src/callconv/x86_64.rs (L240)) on all targets.
- This doesn't cause a miscompilation when compiling with LLVM as LLVM will ignore the `signext`/`zeroext` attribute when applied to return types on non-Apple x86-64 targets.
- Cranelift, however, does not have a similar special case, requiring `rustc` to set the argument extension attribute correctly.
- However, `rustc_codegen_cranelift` doesn't currently apply ABI attributes to return types at all, meaning `rustc_codegen_cranelift` will currently miscompile `i8`/`u8`/`i16`/`u16` returns on x86-64 Apple targets as those targets require sign/zero-extension of return types.
This PR fixes the bug(s) by making the `rustc_target` x86-64 System V ABI only mark return types as sign/zero-extended on Apple platforms, while also making `rustc_codegen_cranelift` apply ABI attributes to return types. The RISC-V and s390x C ABIs also require sign/zero extension of return types, so this will fix those targets when building with `rustc_codegen_cranelift` too.
