b4e121c364 Rename ConstantHandling.* -> ConstantFolding.*
Move a bunch of (now) private stuff from ConstantFolding.h into
ConstantFolding.cpp.

This _finally_ gets us to a place where we have a sane constant folder.  The
rules are:

1. LLVM clients now use ConstantExpr::get* methods to fold constants.  If they
   cannot be folded, a constantexpr is created, so these methods always return
   valid Constant*'s.
2. The implementation of ConstantExpr::get* uses the functions exposed by
   ConstantFolding.h to try to fold constants.  If they cannot be folded,
   they should return a null pointer.
3. The implementation of ConstantFolding can do whatever it wants, and only
   has one client (Constants.cpp)

This cuts down on the wierd dependencies, and eliminates the two interfaces.
The old constanthandling interface was especially bad for clients to use
because almost none of them took the failure condition into consideration,
thus leading to obscure problems.

7285258cc0 Remove a whole bunch more ugliness. This is actually getting to the point of
this whole refactoring: allow constant folding methods to return something
other than predefined classes, allow them to return generic Constant*'s.
