InstCombine: FoldGEPICmp shouldn't change sign of base pointer comparison

Changing the sign when comparing the base pointer would introduce all
sorts of unexpected things like:
  %gep.i = getelementptr inbounds [1 x i8]* %a, i32 0, i32 0
  %gep2.i = getelementptr inbounds [1 x i8]* %b, i32 0, i32 0
  %cmp.i = icmp ult i8* %gep.i, %gep2.i
  %cmp.i1 = icmp ult [1 x i8]* %a, %b
  %cmp = icmp ne i1 %cmp.i, %cmp.i1
  ret i1 %cmp

into:
  %cmp.i = icmp slt [1 x i8]* %a, %b
  %cmp.i1 = icmp ult [1 x i8]* %a, %b
  %cmp = xor i1 %cmp.i, %cmp.i1
  ret i1 %cmp

By preserving the original sign, we now get:
  ret i1 false

This fixes PR16483.
