IR: Remove reference counts from ConstantData (#137314)

This is a follow up change to eliminating uselists for ConstantData.
In the previous revision, ConstantData had a replacement reference count
instead of a uselist. This reference count was misleading, and not useful
in the same way as it would be for another value. The references may not
have even been in the current module, since these are shared throughout
the LLVMContext.

This doesn't space leak any more than we previously did; nothing was
attempting to garbage collect unused constants.

Previously the use_empty, and hasNUses type of APIs were supported through
the reference count. These now behave as if the uses are always empty.
Ideally it would be illegal to inspect these, but this forces API complexity
into quite a few places. It may be doable to make it illegal to check these
counts, but I would like there to be a targeted fuzzing effort to make sure
every transform properly deals with a constant in every operand position.

All tests pass if I turn the hasNUses* and getNumUses queries into assertions,
only hasOneUse in particular appears to hit in some set of contexts. I've
added unit tests to ensure logical consistency between these cases

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
