Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [PPCMergeStringPool] Avoid replacing constant with
 instruction

String pool merging currently, for a reason that's not entirely
clear to me, tries to create GEP instructions instead of GEP
constant expressions when replacing constant references. It only
uses constant expressions in cases where this is required. However,
it does not catch all cases where such a requirement exists. For
example, the landingpad catch clause has to be a constant.

Fix this by always using the constant expression variant, which
also makes the implementation simpler.

Additionally, there are some edge cases where even replacement
with a constant GEP is not legal. The one I am aware of is the
llvm.eh.typeid.for intrinsic, so add a special case to forbid
replacements for it.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/88844.
