// InstructionCombining - Combine instructions to form fewer, simple
// instructions. This pass does not modify the CFG. This pass is where
// algebraic simplification happens.
//
// This pass combines things like:
// %Y = add i32 %X, 1
// %Z = add i32 %Y, 1
// into:
// %Z = add i32 %X, 2
//
// This is a simple worklist driven algorithm.
//
// This pass guarantees that the following canonicalizations are performed on
// the program:
// 1. If a binary operator has a constant operand, it is moved to the RHS
// 2. Bitwise operators with constant operands are always grouped so that
// shifts are performed first, then or's, then and
