[InstCombine] treat i1 as a special type in shouldChangeType()

This patch is based on the llvm-dev discussion here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-January/109631.html

Folding to i1 should always be desirable because that's better for value tracking 
and we have special folds for i1 types.

I checked for other users of shouldChangeType() where this might have an effect, 
but we already handle the i1 case differently than other types in all of those cases.

Side note: the default datalayout includes i1, so it seems we only find this gap in 
shouldChangeType + phi folding for the case when there is (1) an explicit datalayout 
without i1, (2) casting to i1 from a legal type, and (3) a phi with exactly 2 incoming
casted operands (as Björn mentioned).
