GVN: consider constants of primitive types as deterministic

[cjgillot]

GVN separates MIR constants into deterministic and non-deterministic constants.

This was mainly useful because of ConstValue::Slice that generated an extra AllocId each time it appeared in the MIR. That variant has been removed.

The second use case was constants holding provenance: an AllocId could refer to different addresses depending on the crate doing the codegen.

This PR proposes to consider all constants of primitive type to be deterministic. If a constant of primitive type passes validation, then it does not contain provenance, so we have no risk of having an AllocId becoming different pointers.

Finished benchmarking commit (576a61d): comparison URL.

Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read the text below

Benchmarking this pull request means it may be perf-sensitive – we'll automatically label it not fit for rolling up. You can override this, but we strongly advise not to, due to possible changes in compiler perf.

Next Steps: If you can justify the regressions found in this try perf run, please do so in sufficient writing along with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged. If not, please fix the regressions and do another perf run. If its results are neutral or positive, the label will be automatically removed.

What is your notion of "primitive type"? For me that includes references and raw pointers and function pointers, but apparently that is not included in your definition?

EDIT: Ah, ty.is_primitive()... yeah I've been confused by that in the past.^^

[RalfJung]

Why is this true? It can contain provenance after all, so it can be affected by #128775.
