Log:
[ValueTracking] Revert r310583 which enabled functionality that still is
causing compile time issues.

Moreover, the patch *deleted* the flag in addition to changing the
default, and links to a code review that doesn't even discuss the flag
and just has an update to a Clang test case.

I've followed up on the commit thread to ask for numbers on compile time
at this point, leaving the flag in place until things stabilize, and
pointing at specific code that seems to exhibit excessive compile time
with this patch.

Original commit message for r310583:
"""
[ValueTracking] Enabling ValueTracking patch by default (recommit). Part 2.

The original patch was an improvement to IR ValueTracking on
non-negative integers. It has been checked in to trunk (D18777,
r284022). But was disabled by default due to performance regressions.
Perf impact has improved. The patch would be enabled by default.
