[IC] Turn non-null MD on pointer loads to range MD on integer loads.

Summary:
This change fixes the FIXME that you recently added when you committed
(a modified version of) my patch.  When `InstCombine` combines a load and
store of an pointer to those of an equivalently-sized integer, it currently
drops any `!nonnull` metadata that might be present.  This change replaces
`!nonnull` metadata with `!range !{ 1, -1 }` metadata instead.
