Move previously dead code to handle computing the known bits of an alias

up to where it actually works as intended. The problem is that
a GlobalAlias isa GlobalValue and so the prior block handled all of the
cases.

This allows us to constant fold based on the actual constant expression
in the global alias. As an example, see the last function in the newly
added test case which explicitly aligns an unaligned pointer using
constant expression math. Without this change, we fail to see that and
fold an alignment test to zero.
