[InstCombine] Infer nusw + nneg -> nuw for getelementptr (#111144)

If the gep is nusw (usually via inbounds) and the offset is
non-negative, we can infer nuw.

[InstCombine] Canonicalize constant GEPs to i8 source element type (#68882)

This patch canonicalizes getelementptr instructions with constant
indices to use the `i8` source element type. This makes it easier for
optimizations to recognize that two GEPs are identical, because they
don't need to see past many different ways to express the same offset.

This is a first step towards
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-replacing-getelementptr-with-ptradd/68699.
This is limited to constant GEPs only for now, as they have a clear
canonical form, while we're not yet sure how exactly to deal with
variable indices.

The test llvm/test/Transforms/PhaseOrdering/switch_with_geps.ll gives
two representative examples of the kind of optimization improvement we
expect from this change. In the first test SimplifyCFG can now realize
that all switch branches are actually the same. In the second test it
can convert it into simple arithmetic. These are representative of
common optimization failures we see in Rust.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/69841.

nonnull/dereferencable attributes).

[instcombine] Fold away memset/memmove from otherwise unused alloca

The motivation for this is that while both memcpyopt and dse will catch this case, both are limited by MSSA's walk back threshold

[instcombine] Fold away memset/memmove from otherwise unused alloca

The motivation for this is that while both memcpyopt and dse will catch this case, both are limited by MSSA's walk back threshold when finding clobbers. As such, if you have a memcpy of an otherwise dead alloca placed towards the end of a long basic block with lots of other memory instructions, it would be missed. This is a bit undesirable for such an "obviously" useless bit of code.

As noted in comments, we should probably generalize instcombine's escape analysis peephole (see visitAllocInst) to allow read xor write. Doing that would subsume this code in a more general way, but is also a more involved change. For the moment, I went with the easiest fix.
