Currently, for all helpers with integer return type,
the verifier permits a single return type, RET_INTEGER,
which represents 64-bit return value from the helper,
and the verifier will assign 64-bit value ranges for these
return values. Such an assumption is different
from what compiler sees and the generated code with
llvm alu32 mode, and may lead verification failure.

This patch enhanced verifier to handle s32/u32 helper
return values properly to avoid verification failure
due to conservative return value range marking.
Patch #1 commit message has details of explanation and
Patch #2 added test cases to selftests test_verifier.
