SimplifyCFG: Don't convert phis into selects if we could remove undef behavior

instead

We used to transform this:

  define void @test6(i1 %cond, i8* %ptr) {
  entry:
    br i1 %cond, label %bb1, label %bb2

  bb1:
    br label %bb2

  bb2:
    %ptr.2 = phi i8* [ %ptr, %entry ], [ null, %bb1 ]
    store i8 2, i8* %ptr.2, align 8
    ret void
  }

into this:

  define void @test6(i1 %cond, i8* %ptr) {
    %ptr.2 = select i1 %cond, i8* null, i8* %ptr
    store i8 2, i8* %ptr.2, align 8
    ret void
  }

because the simplifycfg transformation into selects would happen to happen
before the simplifycfg transformation that removes unreachable control flow
(We have 'unreachable control flow' due to the store to null which is undefined
behavior).

The existing transformation that removes unreachable control flow in simplifycfg
is:

  /// If BB has an incoming value that will always trigger undefined behavior
  /// (eg. null pointer dereference), remove the branch leading here.
  static bool removeUndefIntroducingPredecessor(BasicBlock *BB)

Now we generate:

  define void @test6(i1 %cond, i8* %ptr) {
    store i8 2, i8* %ptr.2, align 8
    ret void
  }

I did not see any impact on the test-suite + externals.
