We used to be over-conservative about preserving inbounds. Actually, the second
GEP (which applies the constant offset) can inherit the inbounds attribute of
the original GEP, because the resultant pointer is equivalent to that of the
original GEP. For example,
x = GEP inbounds a, i+5
=>
y = GEP a, i // inbounds removed
x = GEP inbounds y, 5 // inbounds preserved

Summary:
Extract method haveNoCommonBitsSet so that we don't have to duplicate this logic in
InstCombine and SeparateConstOffsetFromGEP.
This patch also makes SeparateConstOffsetFromGEP more precise by passing
DominatorTree to computeKnownBits.
Test Plan: value-tracking-domtree.ll that tests ValueTracking indeed leverages dominating conditions
