[ValueTracking] Improve isKnownNonNaN() to recognize zero splats.

Summary

Hi,

I noticed that this function:

define <2 x double> @f1(<2 x double> %val) {
  %cmp = fcmp ogt <2 x double> %val,  zeroinitializer
  %ret = select <2 x i1> %cmp, <2 x double> %val, <2 x double> zeroinitializer
  ret <2 x double> %ret
}

, which I expected to be implemented with a systemZ vfmaxdb (vector fp maximum), was not represented on the DAG with an fmaxnum node, and therefore not in the assembly output either.

I found this to be due to the fact that ValueTracking.cpp:isKnownNonNaN() is not recognizing the zero splat. This is because it is a ConstantAggregateZero which is a ConstantData and not a ConstantDataVector that the function is handling.

I wonder if my patch here is the right approach, or if it might be even better to make a utility function for this type of query to make this mistake less likely in other places? It is surprising to me to have a zero splat not recognized as a ConstantDataVector...

Looks good to me! I don't have enough context to know of any other locations where this could be missed, so I'm not sure whether a helper function would be useful. It could always be added later, anyways.

I don't think you need the FP type check
