Nikita Popov 8e8d2595da [ConstantFolding] Canonicalize constexpr GEPs to i8 (#89872)
This patch canonicalizes constant expression GEPs to use i8 source
element type, aka ptradd. This is the ConstantFolding equivalent of the
InstCombine canonicalization introduced in #68882.

I believe all our optimizations working on constant expression GEPs
(like GlobalOpt etc) have already been switched to work on offsets, so I
don't expect any significant fallout from this change.

This is part of:

; Test that we don't replace an alias with its aliasee when simplifying GEPs.
; In this test case the transformation is invalid because it replaces the

; was chosen by the linker) with a reference to "a" (which refers to the
; specific instance of "b" in this module).
