[SimplifyCFG] Preserve knowledge about guarding condition by adding assume
This improvement adds "assume" after removal of branch basing on UB in successor block. Consider the following example: ``` pred: x = ... cond = x > 10 br cond, bb, other.succ bb: phi [nullptr, pred], ... // other possible preds load(phi) // UB if we came from pred other.succ: // here we know that x <= 10, but this knowledge is lost // after the branch is turned to unconditional unless we // preserve it with assume. ``` If we remove the branch basing on knowledge about UB in a successor block, then the fact that x <= 10 is other.succ might be lost if this condition is not inferrable from any dominating condition. To preserve this knowledge, we can add assume intrinsic with (possibly inverted) branch condition. Patch by Dmitry Bakunevich!
