re PR middle-end/6600 (i960 toolchain hits abort in c_readstr)

	PR middle-end/6600
	* expr.c (STORE_MAX_PIECES): New macro to avoid immediate constants
	larger than INTEGER_CST.  (store_by_pieces_1): Use it here...
	(can_store_by_pieces): ... and here to limit the largest mode used.
	Add a comment to document this function.
