Switch the inliner over to using CloneAndPruneFunctionInto. This effectively

makes it so that it constant folds instructions on the fly.  This is good
for several reasons:

0. Many instructions are constant foldable after inlining, particularly if
   inlining a call with constant arguments.
1. Without this, the inliner has to allocate memory for all of the instructions
   that can be constant folded, then a subsequent pass has to delete them.  This
   gets the job done without this extra work.
2. This makes the inliner *pass* a bit more aggressive: in particular, it
   partially solves a phase order issue where the inliner would inline lots
   of code that folds away to nothing, but think that the resultant function
   is big because of this code that will be gone.  Now the code never exists.

This is the first part of a 2-step process.  The second part will be smart
enough to see when this implicit constant folding propagates a constant into
a branch or switch instruction, making CFG edges dead.

This implements Transforms/Inline/inline_constprop.ll
