__builtin_constant_p(x) is a compiler builtin that evaluates to 1 when
its argument x is a compile-time constant and to 0 otherwise. In CodeGen
it is simply lowered to the respective LLVM intrinsic. In the Analyzer
we've been trying to delegate modeling to Expr::EvaluateAsInt, which is
allowed to sometimes fail for no apparent reason.
When it fails, let's conservatively return false. Modeling it as false
is pretty much never wrong, and it is only required to return true
on a best-effort basis, which every user should expect.
Fixes VLAChecker false positives on code that tries to emulate
static asserts in C by constructing a VLA of dynamic size -1 under the
assumption that this dynamic size is actually a constant
in the sense of __builtin_constant_p.

Kept the "indirect_builtin_constant_p" test case in test/SemaCXX/constant-expression-cxx1y.cpp
while we are investigating why the following snippet fails:
extern char extern_var;
struct { int a; } a = {__builtin_constant_p(extern_var)};

This was reverted in r347656 due to me thinking it caused a miscompile of
Chromium. Turns out it was the Chromium code that was broken.

This caused a miscompile in Chrome (see crbug.com/908372) that's
illustrated by this small reduction:
static bool f(int *a, int *b) {
return !__builtin_constant_p(b - a) || (!(b - a));
}
int arr[] = {1,2,3};
bool g() {
return f(arr, arr + 3);
}
$ clang -O2 -S -emit-llvm a.cc -o -
g() should return true, but after r347417 it became false for some reason.
This also reverts the follow-up commits.

Summary:
A __builtin_constant_p may end up with a constant after inlining. Use
the is.constant intrinsic if it's a variable that's in a context where
it may resolve to a constant, e.g., an argument to a function after
inlining.

This builtin is evaluated in compile time. But in the analyzer we don't yet
automagically evaluate all calls that can be evaluated in compile time.

This builtin does not actually evaluate its arguments for side effects,
so we shouldn't include them in the CFG. In the analyzer, rely on the
constant expression evaluator to get the proper semantics, at least for
now. (In the future, we could get ambitious and try to provide path-
sensitive size values.)
In theory, this does pose a problem for liveness analysis: a variable can
be used within the __builtin_object_size argument expression but not show
up as live. However, it is very unlikely that such a value would be used
to compute the object size and not used to access the object in some way.
