the corresponding LLVM intrinsics' return types are same as their first argument. eg. i64 for llvm.cttz.i64.
cf. https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-cttz-intrinsic
this commit changes the return types of our versions of the intrinsics to match llvm versions as our aot compiler, specifically __call_llvm_intrinsic, assumes.
strictly speaking, this is a potential AOT ABI change. however, I suppose it isn't a problem for many of 64-bit ABIs out there, where (lower half of) a 64-bit register is used to return a 32-bit value anyway. (for such ABIs, this commit would fix the upper 32-bit value of the register.)
