When we simplify at least one operand in the Attributor simplification
we can use the InstSimplify to work on the simplified operands. This
allows us to avoid duplication of the logic.

If we have a recursive function we could create multiple instantiations
of an SSA value, one per recursive invocation of the function. This is a
problem as we use SSA value equality in various places. The basic idea
follows from this test:
```
static int r(int c, int *a) {
int X;
return c ? r(false, &X) : a == &X;
}
int test(int c) {
return r(c, undef);
}
```
If we look through the argument `a` we will end up with `X`. Using SSA
value equality we will fold `a == &X` to true and return true even
though it should have been false because `a` and `&X` are from different
instantiations of the function.
Various tests for this have been placed in value-simplify-instances.ll
and this commit fixes them all by avoiding to produce simplified values
that could be non-unique at runtime. Thus, the result of a simplify
value call will always be unique at runtime or the original value, both
do not allow to accidentally compare two instances of a value with each
other and conclude they are equal statically (pointer equivalence) while
they are unequal at runtime.
Value simplification works under the implicit assumption that two SSA
values (`llvm::Value`) that are pointer equal are also equal at runtime.
This is mostly true except for values that are instantiated multiple
times. These test cases expose the problems we currently have when it
comes to recursion and multiple instances of values.
