The basic idea to this is that a) having a single canonical type makes CSE easier, and b) many of our transforms are inconsistent about which types we end up with based on visit order.
I'm restricting this to constants as for non-constants, we'd have to decide whether the simplicity was worth extra instructions. For constants, there are no extra instructions.
We chose the canonical type as i64 arbitrarily. We might consider changing this to something else in the future if we have cause.

This patch is for fixing potential shufflevector-related bugs like D93818.
As D93818, this patch change shufflevector's default placeholder to poison.
To reduce risk, it was divided into several patches, and this patch is for InstCombineCompares and InstructionCombining.
