This removes the extractvalue constant expression, as part of
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-remove-most-constant-expressions/63179.
extractvalue is already not supported in bitcode, so we do not need
to worry about bitcode auto-upgrade.
Uses of ConstantExpr::getExtractValue() should be replaced with
IRBuilder::CreateExtractValue() (if the fact that the result is
constant is not important) or ConstantFoldExtractValueInstruction()
(if it is). Though for this particular case, it is also possible
and usually preferable to use getAggregateElement() instead.
The C API function LLVMConstExtractValue() is removed, as the
underlying constant expression no longer exists. Instead,
LLVMBuildExtractValue() should be used (which will constant fold
or create an instruction). Depending on the use-case,
LLVMGetAggregateElement() may also be used instead.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

ConstantExpr::getWithOperands does much of the hard work that
ConstantFoldInstOperandsImpl tries to do but more completely.
This lets us fold ExtractValue/InsertValue expressions.
llvm-svn: 277100
When folding an expression, we run ConstantFoldConstantExpression on
each operand of that expression.
However, ConstantFoldConstantExpression can fail and retur nullptr.
Previously, we would bail on further refining the expression.
Instead, use the original operand and see if we can refine a later
operand.
