Yingwei Zheng 1711996805 [Clang][CodeGen] Do not set inbounds flag for struct GEP with null base pointers (#130734) ...

In the LLVM middle-end we want to fold `gep inbounds null, idx -> null`:

This pattern is common in real-world programs
(https://github.com/dtcxzyw/llvm-opt-benchmark/pull/55#issuecomment-1870963906).
Generally, it exists in some (actually) unreachable blocks, which is
introduced by JumpThreading.

However, some old-style offsetof macros are still widely used in
real-world C/C++ code (e.g., hwloc/slurm/luajit). To avoid breaking
existing code and inconvenience to downstream users, this patch removes
the inbounds flag from the struct gep if the base pointer is null.
