e3394d4a49 When a constant's type is refined, update the constant in place
instead of cloning and RAUWing it.

 - Make AbstractTypeUser a friend of Value so that it can offer
   its subclasses a way to update a Value's type in place. This
   is better than a universally visible setType method on Value,
   and it's sufficient for the immediate need.

 - Eliminate the constant "convert" functions. This eliminates a
   lot of logic duplication, and fixes a complicated bug where a
   constant can't actually be cloned during the type refinement
   process because some of the types that its folder needs are
   half-destroyed, being in the middle of refinement themselves.

 - Move the getValType functions from being static overloaded
   functions in Constants.cpp to be members of class template
   specializations in ConstantsContext.h. This means that the
   code ends up getting instantiated twice, however it also
   makes it possible to eliminate all "convert" functions, so
   it's not a big net code size increase. And if desired, the
   duplicate instantiations could be eliminated with some
   reorganization.
