[IR] Mark zext/sext constant expressions as undesirable

Introduce isDesirableCastOp() which determines whether IR builder
and constant folding should produce constant expressions for a
given cast type. This mirrors what we do for binary operators.

Mark zext/sext as undesirable, which prevents most creations of such
constant expressions. This is still somewhat incomplete and there
are a few more places that can create zext/sext expressions.

This is part of the work for
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-remove-most-constant-expressions/63179.

The reason for the odd result in the constantexpr-fneg.c test is
that initially the "a[]" global is created with an [0 x i32] type,
at which point the icmp expression cannot be folded. Later it is
replaced with an [1 x i32] global and the icmp gets folded away.
But at that point we no longer fold the zext.
