Currently we consider that each constant has itself as a base value. I.e "base(const) = const".
This introduces couple of problems when we are trying to avoid reporting constants in statepoint live sets:
1. When querying "base( phi(const1, const2) )" we will get "phi(const1, const2)" as a base pointer. Since
it's not a constant we will record it in a stack map. However on practice we don't want this to happen
(constant are never relocated).
2. base( phi(const, gc ptr) ) = phi( const, base(gc ptr) ). This particular case imposes challenge on our
runtime - we don't expect to see constant base pointers other than null. This problems can be avoided
by treating all constant as if they were derived from null pointer base. I.e in a first case we will
not include constant pointer in a stack map at all. In a second case we will get "phi(null, base(gc ptr))"
as a base pointer which is a lot more convenient.

The full diff for the test directory may be hard to read because of the
filename clash; so here's all that happened as far as the tests are
concerned:
```
cd test/Transforms/RewriteStatepointsForGC
git rm *ll
git mv deopt-bundles/* ./
rmdir deopt-bundles
find . -name '*.ll' | xargs gsed -i 's/-rs4gc-use-deopt-bundles //g'
```

Previously, "%" + name of the value was printed for each derived and base
pointer. This is correct for instructions, but wrong for e.g. globals.

Summary:
Previously, RS4GC crashed in CreateGCRelocates() because it assumed
that every base is also in the array of live variables, which isn't true if a
live variable has a constant base.
This change fixes the crash by making sure CreateGCRelocates() won't try to
relocate a live variable with a constant base. This would be unnecessary
anyway because anything with a constant base won't move.
