Patch to enable ConsantExpr evaluation for constant vectors

I am working on a project that uses integer vectors fairly extensively. Some
values in the vectors came from constant pointers cast to 64-bit integers, and
the LLVM optimizer would often end up folding values into instructions that
looked like this:

store <2 x i64> <i64 ptrtoint (... constant_pointer_value ... to i64), i64 0>,
<2 x i64>* %f

ExecutionEngine aborts at runtime on all instructions like this because
ExecutionEngine::getConstantValue assumes all vector constants are "simple
constants" whose values are ConstantInts, not handling the case of
ConstantExpr.

I attached a patch, which you can also see in my git branch here -
