aoptx86 TryConstMerge bug
<!-- See available text formatting: https://gitlab.com/help/user/markdown.md -->
## Summary
TryConstMerge causes a bug by incorrect checking variable.
## System Information
<!-- The more information are provided the easier it is to replicate the bug -->
- **Operating system:** Windows
- **Processor architecture:** X86-64
- **Compiler version:** trunk
- **Device:** PC
## Steps to reproduce
Compile and test from O- to O4 using the example below.
## Example Project
```pascal
{ Regression test for x86 OptPass1MOV / TryConstMerge (compiler/x86/aoptx86.pas).
Constant stores to the stack that are NOT adjacent must not be merged into
one wider store, because that overwrites the bytes in between.
TryConstMerge selected the merge width from the outer instruction (p)
instead of the pair being merged (p1/p2).
Run with -O- -O2 -O3 -O4. Exit code 0 = OK, otherwise number of the failed test. }

failed: longint = 0;
procedure check(const a: array of byte; const expect: array of byte; id: longint); noinline;
var
i: longint;

for i := 0 to high(expect) do
if a[i] <> expect[i] then
begin
writeln('FAIL ', id, ': byte ', i, ' is ', a[i], ', expected ', expect[i]);
if failed = 0 then failed := id;
exit;
end;
end;
{ byte stores at 0,1 (merged to a word), then at 4 and 6 (must not become a dword store) }
procedure t1; noinline;
var
r: array[0..7] of byte;
begin
r[5] := $55; r[7] := $77; r[2] := $22; r[3] := $33;
r[0] := 1; r[1] := 2; r[4] := 3; r[6] := 4;
check(r, [1, 2, $22, $33, 3, $55, 4, $77], 1);
end;
{ word stores at 0,2 (merged to a dword), then at 8 and 12 (second one is 0, so the
merged constant would still fit into 32 bits) }
procedure t2; noinline;
var
r: array[0..15] of byte;
begin
r[4] := 0; r[5] := 0; r[6] := 0; r[7] := 0;
r[10] := $AA; r[11] := $BB; r[14] := $CC; r[15] := $DD;
PWord(@r[0])^ := $0304; PWord(@r[2])^ := $0102;
PWord(@r[8])^ := $1111; PWord(@r[12])^ := 0;
check(r, [4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, $11, $11, $AA, $BB, 0, 0, $CC, $DD], 2);
end;
{ the intended merges of directly adjacent stores must still give the right bytes }
procedure t3; noinline;
var
r: array[0..7] of byte;
begin
r[0] := 1; r[1] := 2; r[2] := 3; r[3] := 4; r[4] := 5; r[5] := 6; r[6] := 7; r[7] := 8;
check(r, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 3);
end;
begin
t1;
t2;
t3;
if failed = 0 then writeln('OK');
halt(failed);
end.
