Now uses computeknownbits on the gep pointer argument instead of checking alignment, added the test cases and checked previous ones are unchanged.
As written it could be extended - non-i8 gep types, vector types. Strictly speaking it's not only adding a constant to zero low bits that can be removed either - various combinations of known bits on the input and a constant gep can be combined with the subsequent mask and simplified. Since gep of i8 is essentially add with an implicit ptrtoint.
I think this is useful as a standalone improvement without that additional complexity.
