This bases the CleanupConstantGlobalUsers() implementation around
the ConstantFoldLoadFromConst() API. The general approach is that
we discover all users while looking through casts, and then
constant fold loads and drop stores and memintrinsics.
This avoids special cases and limitations in the previous
implementation, which is also incompatible with opaque pointers.
The result is a bit more powerful than before, because we now use
more general load folding logic which can for example look through
pointer bitcasts between different sizes. This is where the test
changes come from, as we now fold more loads and can thus remove
more globals.

This reapplies commit 7dbba3376f633cabcf4df568bc9ca95f44a35203, or, put
differently, this reverts commit d9a8d20827dcddad831751bc38ff178e70f0b2f5.
The test now requires the amdgpu and nvptx backend explicitly as it
won't work without properly.
Not all address spaces support initializers for globals and we can
therefore not set them without checking if they are allowed. This
patch adds a hook into TTI to check if an AS allows non-undef
initializers. We disable it for all but address space 0 by default,
NVPTX and AMDGPU targets allow all but address space 3.
