This reverts commit 877a9f9abec61f06e39f1cd872e37b828139c2d1.
It depends on the parent revision 42c2dc401742266da3e0251b6c1ca491f4779963
which needs to be reverted as it broke some buildbots, so reverting both.
The aim of this patch is to minimize the compilation time overhead of
running Function Specialization. It is about 40% slower to run as a
standalone pass (IPSCCP + FuncSpec vs IPSCCP with FuncSpec) according
to my measurements. I compiled the llvm testsuite with NewPM-O3 + LTO
and measured single threaded [user + system] time of IPSCCP and FuncSpec
by passing the '-time-passes' option to lld. Then I compared the two
configurations in terms of Instruction Count of the total compilation
(not of the individual passes) as in https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com.
Geomean for non-LTO builds is -0.25% and LTO is -0.5% approximately.

Function specialization was crashing on poison values and constexpr values.
The problem is that these values are not added to the solver, so it crashes
when a lookup is performed for these values. This fixes that by not
specialising on these values. For poison that is obvious, but for constexpr
this is a change in behaviour. Thus, in one way this is a bit of a stopgap, but
specialising on constexpr values wasn't done very intentionally, and need some
more work and tests if we wanted to support this.
As a follow up, we need to look if the solver should exit more gracefully and
return a "don't know", or that it should really support these constexprs.
This should fix PR51600 (https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51600).
