Probability from 0 case is better estimate, so I think it makes sense to
handle it right.  I did not take that much stats on how often it
happens, but on my TODO list is to turn this into value range predictor
which may have better chance of success. We can also handle other
constants than INTEGER_CST.

I will see if I can clean up the code bit more or add a comment, since
it is indeed bit confusing as written now.  Will also look into more
testcases.

Thanks a lot!
