[ValueTracking] recognize variations of 'clamp' to improve codegen (PR31693)
By enhancing value tracking, we allow an existing min/max canonicalization to
kick in and improve codegen for several targets that have min/max instructions.
Unfortunately, recognizing min/max in value tracking may cause us to hit
a hack in InstCombiner::visitICmpInst() more often:

...but I'm hoping we can remove that soon.
