This patch canonicalizes constant expression GEPs to use i8 source
element type, aka ptradd. This is the ConstantFolding equivalent of the
InstCombine canonicalization introduced in #68882.
I believe all our optimizations working on constant expression GEPs
(like GlobalOpt etc) have already been switched to work on offsets, so I
don't expect any significant fallout from this change.
This is part of:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-replacing-getelementptr-with-ptradd/68699
If `Mask` and `Amt` are not constants and `binop1` and `binop2` are
the same we can transform to:
`(binop (lshift (binop X, Y), Amt), Mask)`
If `binop` is `add`, `lshift` must be `shl`.
If `Mask` and `Amt` are constants `C` and `C1` respectively.
We can transform to:
`(lshift1 (binop1 (binop2 X, (inv_lshift1 C, C1), Y)), C1)`
Saving an instruction IFF:
`lshift1` is same opcode as `lshift2`
Either `bitwise1` and/or `bitwise2` is `and`.

This is a follow-up to b71edfaa4ec3c998aadb35255ce2f60bba2940b0
since I forgot the lit.local.cfg files in that one.
Reformatting is done with `black`.
If you end up having problems merging this commit because you
have made changes to a python file, the best way to handle that
is to run git checkout --ours <yourfile> and then reformat it
with black.
If you run into any problems, post to discourse about it and
we will try to help.
