instead of cloning and RAUWing it.
- Make AbstractTypeUser a friend of Value so that it can offer
its subclasses a way to update a Value's type in place. This
is better than a universally visible setType method on Value,
and it's sufficient for the immediate need.
- Eliminate the constant "convert" functions. This eliminates a
lot of logic duplication, and fixes a complicated bug where a
constant can't actually be cloned during the type refinement
process because some of the types that its folder needs are
half-destroyed, being in the middle of refinement themselves.
- Move the getValType functions from being static overloaded
functions in Constants.cpp to be members of class template
specializations in ConstantsContext.h. This means that the
code ends up getting instantiated twice, however it also
makes it possible to eliminate all "convert" functions, so
it's not a big net code size increase. And if desired, the
duplicate instantiations could be eliminated with some
reorganization.

how to fold notionally-out-of-bounds array getelementptr indices instead
of just doing these in lib/Analysis/ConstantFolding.cpp, because it can
be done in a fairly general way without TargetData, and because not all
constants are visited by lib/Analysis/ConstantFolding.cpp. This enables
more constant folding.
Also, set the "inbounds" flag when the getelementptr indices are
one-past-the-end.

within the notional bounds of the static type of the getelementptr (which
is not the same as "inbounds") from GlobalOpt into a utility routine,
and use it in ConstantFold.cpp to check whether there are any mis-behaved
indices.

Constant uniquing tables. This allows distinct ConstantExpr objects
with the same operation and different flags.
Even though a ConstantExpr "a + b" is either always overflowing or
never overflowing (due to being a ConstantExpr), it's still necessary
to be able to represent it both with and without overflow flags at
the same time within the IR, because the safety of the flag may
depend on the context of the use. If the constant really does overflow,
it wouldn't ever be safe to use with the flag set, however the use
may be in code that is never actually executed.
This also makes it possible to merge all the flags tests into a single test.

and exact flags. Because ConstantExprs are uniqued, creating an
expression with this flag causes all expressions with the same operands
to have the same flag, which may not be safe. Add, sub, mul, and sdiv
ConstantExprs are usually folded anyway, so the main interesting flag
here is inbounds, and the constant folder already knows how to set the
inbounds flag automatically in most cases, so there isn't an urgent need
for the API support.
This can be reconsidered in the future, but for now just removing these
API bits eliminates a source of potential trouble with little downside.

Use CallbackVH, instead of WeakVH, to hold MDNode elements.
Use FoldingSetNode to unique MDNodes in a context.
Use CallbackVH hooks to update context's MDNodeSet appropriately.

Constant::getRelocationInfo(), which has a much simpler
to use API. It still should not be part of libvmcore, but
is better than it was. Also teach it to be smart about
hidden visibility.

Getelementptrs that are defined to wrap are virtually useless to
optimization, and getelementptrs that are undefined on any kind
of overflow are too restrictive -- it's difficult to ensure that
all intermediate addresses are within bounds. I'm going to take
a different approach.
Remove a few optimizations that depended on this flag.
