[PATCH] [InstSimplify] Support constant folding to vector of pointers

[Bruno Cardoso Lopes]

Hi arsenm, chandlerc, bkramer,

ConstantFolding crashes when trying to InstSimplify the following load:

@a = private unnamed_addr constant %mst {
     i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*),
     i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*)}, align 8

%x = load <2 x i8*>* bitcast (%mst* @a to <2 x i8*>*), align 8

This patch fix this by adding support to this type of folding:

%x = load <2 x i8*>* bitcast (%mst* @a to <2 x i8*>*), align 8
==> gets folded to:
  %x = <2 x i8*> <i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*), i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*)>
