Dan Gohman 43873d4f73 Use range metadata instead of introducing selects.
When GlobalOpt has determined that a GlobalVariable only ever has two values,
it would convert the GlobalVariable to a boolean, and introduce SelectInsts
at every load, to choose between the two possible values. These SelectInsts
introduce overhead and other unpleasantness.

This patch makes GlobalOpt just add range metadata to loads from such
GlobalVariables instead. This enables the same main optimization (as seen in
test/Transforms/GlobalOpt/integer-bool.ll), without introducing selects.

The main downside is that it doesn't get the memory savings of shrinking such
GlobalVariables, but this is expected to be negligible.
