Teaching ConstantFoldLoadFromUniformValue that types that are padded in
memory can't be considered as uniform.
Using the big hammer to prevent optimizations when loading from a
constant for which DataLayout::typeSizeEqualsStoreSize would return
false.
Main problem solved would be something like this:
store i17 -1, ptr %p, align 4
%v = load i8, ptr %p, align 1
If for example the i17 occupies 32 bits in memory, then LLVM IR doesn't
really tell where the padding goes. And even if we assume that the 15
most significant bits are padding, then they should be considered as
undefined (even if LLVM backend typically would pad with zeroes).
Anyway, for a big-endian target the load would read those most
significant bits, which aren't guaranteed to be one's. So it would be
wrong to constant fold the load as returning -1.
If LLVM IR had been more explicit about the placement of padding, then
we could allow the constant fold of the load in the example, but only
for little-endian.

The only interesting test change is in @PR31262, where the following
fold is now performed, while it previously was not:
https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/a5Qmr6
llvm/test/Transforms/InstSimplify/ConstProp/gep.ll has not been
updated, because there is a tradeoff between folding and inrange
preservation there that we may want to discuss.
Updates have been performed using:

Peculiarly, the necessary code to handle pointers (including the
check for non-integral address spaces) is already in place,
because we were already allowing vectors of pointers here, just
not plain pointers.
The reinterpret load code will convert undef values into zero.
Check the uniform value case before it to produce a better result
for all-undef initializers.
However, the uniform value handling will return the uniform value
even if the access is out of bounds, while the reinterpret load
code will return undef. Add an explicit check to retain the
previous result in this case.
In particular, this also preserves undef when loading from padding,
rather than converting it to zero through a different codepath.
This is the remaining part of D115924.
There are a number of places that specially handle loads from a
uniform value where all the bits are the same (zero, one, undef,
poison), because we a) don't care about the load offset in that
case b) it bypasses casts that might not be legal generally but
do work with uniform values.
We had multiple implementations of this, with a different set of
supported values each time. This replaces two usages with a more
complete helper. Other usages will be replaced separately, because
they have larger impact.
This is part of D115924.
This fixes the assertion failure reported at
https://reviews.llvm.org/D114889#3198921 with a straightforward
check, until the cleaner fix in D115924 can be reapplied.
This reverts commit 9fd4f80e33a4ae4567483819646650f5735286e2.
This breaks SingleSource/Regression/C/gcc-c-torture/execute/pr19687.c
in test-suite. Either the test is incorrect, or clang is generating
incorrect union initialization code. I've submitted
https://reviews.llvm.org/D115994 to fix the test, assuming my
interpretation is correct. Reverting this in the meantime as it
may take some time to resolve.

assertion that could be triggered via constant folding.

Usually the case where the types are the same ends up being handled
fine because it's legal to do a trivial bitcast to the same type.
However, this is not true for aggregate types. Short-circuit the
whole code if the types match exactly to account for this.
The test is switched to use -instsimplify as it is in the
InstSimplify directory. In this particular case InstCombine does
fold the load (in a very roundabout way), but InstSimplify does not.
This refactors load folding to happen in two cleanly separated
steps: ConstantFoldLoadFromConstPtr() takes a pointer to load from
and decomposes it into a constant initializer base and an offset.
Then ConstantFoldLoadFromConst() loads from that initializer at
the given offset. This makes the core logic independent of having
actual GEP expressions (and those GEP expressions having certain
structure) and will allow exposing ConstantFoldLoadFromConst() as
an independent API in the future.
This is mostly only a refactoring, but it does make the folding
logic slightly more powerful.

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
