Florian Hahn fbcf8a8cbb [ConstraintElim] Add (UGE, var, 0) to unsigned system for new vars. (#76262)
The constraint system used for ConstraintElimination assumes all
varibles to be signed. This can cause missed optimization in the
unsigned system, due to missing the information that all variables are
unsigned (non-negative).

Variables can be marked as non-negative by adding Var >= 0 for all
variables. This is done for arguments on ConstraintInfo construction and
after adding new variables. This handles cases like the ones outlined in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/why-does-llvm-not-perform-range-analysis-on-integer-values/74341

The original example shared above is now handled without this change,
but adding another variable means that instcombine won't be able to
simplify examples like https://godbolt.org/z/hTnra7zdY

Adding the extra variables comes with a slight compile-time increase
