Do unsigned remainder on unsigned types #1211

Description

@axch

Manifestation:

big = 2147483647
rem (big + 1) big
> 4294967295

Expected the answer to be 1.

(Note that big + 1 doesn't overflow the underlying Word32 -- it's just the rem operation messing up).

The cause is

IRem -> emitInstr (typeOf x) $ L.SRem x y []
, which unconditionally emits a signed remainder instruction, regardless of whether the Dex type is meant to be signed or unsigned.
