This should be a perfectly reasonable operation for scalable vectors.
Currently, it only works for zeroinitializer values of
ScalableVectorType, but the fundamental operation is sound and it should
be possible to make it work for other splats

Currently no users outside of unit tests.
Replace all instances in tests of -constprop with -instsimplify.
Notable changes in tests:
* vscale.ll - @llvm.sadd.sat.nxv16i8 is evaluated by instsimplify, use a fake intrinsic instead
* InsertElement.ll - insertelement undef is removed by instsimplify in @insertelement_undef
llvm/test/Transforms/ConstProp moved to llvm/test/Transforms/InstSimplify/ConstProp
