[llvm] [ConstantFold] Special case atan +/-0.0 (PR #143962)

https://github.com/lei137 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/143962

C's Annex F specifies that atan +/-0.0 returns the input value;
however, this behavior is optional and host C libraries may behave
differently. This change applies the Annex F behavior to constant
folding by LLVM.
