[InstCombine] Use replaceOperand() in more places

Summary

This is a followup to D73803, which uses the replaceOperand() helper in more places.

In some cases, I have instead replaced multiple setOperand() calls with creating a new instruction (those cases where we set multiple operands, and there is nothing subtle going on with preservation of instruction flags or so). That seems to be more idiomatic nowadays. This is also what causes the test changes. Is this reasonable, or do we prefer in-place modification here?

Seems like good cleanup. I suspect the implementation differences are based on historical prefs, but it's possible there's some compile-time perf difference in new instruction vs. recycling. I doubt that would rise above the noise, but to be safe, I'd split this up:

  1. Make the select swapValues() changes - should be NFC.
  2. Change the multi-operand set patterns to Create*.
  3. Use replaceOperand().

This is different than the CreateXor() changes below because of overflow flag propagation? If yes, it's worth a code comment.

Better to make this an independent patch.

Similar to above - pre-commit the swapValues() diff? Or maybe better to create a new instruction here similar to the earlier binop changes?

I've now landed the swapValues use (rG9d03b7d0d008) and the creation of new insts (rGd4627b90a046) separately, and rebased this patch, so it now only includes the changes related to replaceOperand() use.

That's right. I've now added a comment to indicate this.
