String pool merging currently, for a reason that's not entirely clear to me, tries to create GEP instructions instead of GEP constant expressions when replacing constant references. It only uses constant expressions in cases where this is required. However, it does not catch all cases where such a requirement exists. For example, the landingpad catch clause has to be a constant. Fix this by always using the constant expression variant, which also makes the implementation simpler. Additionally, there are some edge cases where even replacement with a constant GEP is not legal. The one I am aware of is the llvm.eh.typeid.for intrinsic, so add a special case to forbid replacements for it. Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/88844.
