[InstSimplify] shl nuw C, %x -> C iff signbit is set on C.
Summary: `%r = shl nuw i8 C, %x` As per langref: ``` If the nuw keyword is present, then the shift produces a poison value if it shifts out any non-zero bits. ``` Thus, if the sign bit is set on `C`, then `%x` can only be `0`, which means that `%r` can only be `C`. Or in other words, set sign bit means that the signed value is negative, so the constant is `<= 0`. https://rise4fun.com/Alive/WMk https://rise4fun.com/Alive/udv Was mentioned in D47428 review. We already handle the `0` constant, https://godbolt.org/g/UZq1sJ, so this only handles negative constants. Could use computeKnownBits() / LazyValueInfo, but the cost-benefit analysis (https://reviews.llvm.org/D47891) suggests it isn't worth it.
