In my previous change to CVP (251606), I made CVP much more aggressive about trying to constant fold comparisons. This patch is a reversal in direction. Rather than being agressive about every compare, we restore the non-block local restriction for most, and then try hard for compares feeding returns.
The motivation for this is two fold:
* The more I thought about it, the less comfortable I got with the possible compile time impact of the other approach. There have been no reported issues, but after talking to a couple of folks, I've come to the conclusion the time probably isn't justified.
* It turns out we need to know the context to leverage the full power of LVI. In particular, asking about something at the end of it's block (the use of a compare in a return) will frequently get more precise results than something in the middle of a block. This is an implementation detail, but it's also hard to get around since mid-block queries have to reason about possible throwing instructions and don't get to use most of LVI's block focused infrastructure. This will become particular important when combined with http://reviews.llvm.org/D14263.

CVP wants to analyze the condition operand of a select along an edge.
It succeeds in getting back a Constant but not a ConstantInt. Instead,
it gets a ConstantExpr. It then assumes that the Constant must be equal
to false because it isn't equal to true.
Instead, perform an additional comparison.
This fixes PR23752.

Summary:
If the branch that leads to the PHI node and the Select instruction
depend on correlated conditions, we might be able to directly use the
corresponding value from the Select instruction as the incoming value
for the PHI node, allowing later removal of the select instruction.
