Rework GlobalValue::removeDeadConstantUsers to always remove dead constant

exprs hanging off a global, even if the global is not otherwise dead.  This
requires some tricky iterator gymnastics.

This implements Transforms/GlobalOpt/constantexpr-dangle.ll by deleting a
constantexpr that made it appear that the address of the function was taken.
