[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.
