Rewrite instsimplify's handling if icmp on pointer values to remove the

remaining use of AliasAnalysis concepts such as isIdentifiedObject to
prove pointer inequality.

@external_compare in test/Transforms/InstSimplify/compare.ll shows a simple
case where a noalias argument can be equal to a global variable address, and
while AliasAnalysis can get away with saying that these pointers don't alias,
instsimplify cannot say that they are not equal.

// However, if there's an @llvm.stackrestore dynamically in between two

// scope of the problem by only looking at *static* allocas here. That would
// cover the majority of allocas while significantly reducing the likelihood
// of having an @llvm.stackrestore pop up in the middle. However, it's not
// actually impossible for an @llvm.stackrestore to pop up in the middle of
// an entry block. Also, if we have a block that's not attached to a
// function, we can't tell if it's "static" under the current definition.
// Theoretically, this problem could be fixed by creating a new kind of
// instruction kind specifically for static allocas. Such a new instruction
// could be required to be at the top of the entry block, thus preventing it
// from being subject to a @llvm.stackrestore. Instcombine could even
// convert regular allocas into these special allocas. It'd be nifty.
