This happens a lot with `if constexpr` with a condition based on a template param. In those cases, the condition is a ConstantExpr with a value already set, so we can use that and ignore the other branch.

Subject: [PATCH] [clang][bytecode] Special-case ConstantExpr in if conditions

This happens a lot with `if constexpr` with a condition based on a
template param. In those cases, the condition is a ConstantExpr with a
value already set, so we can use that and ignore the other branch.
