The behavior in Analysis (knownbits) implements poison semantics already,
and we expect the transforms (for example, in instcombine) derived from
those semantics, so this patch changes the LangRef and remaining code to
be consistent. This is one more step in removing "undef" from LLVM.
Without this, I think https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53330
has a legitimate complaint because that report wants to allow subsequent
code to mask off bits, and that is allowed with undef values. The clang
builtins are not actually documented anywhere AFAICT, but we might want
to add that to remove more uncertainty.

As discussed in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-July/143801.html.
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
