[llvm][Uniformity] A phi with an undef argument is not always divergent

The uniformity analysis treated an undef argument to phi to be distinct from any other argument, equivalent to calling PHINode::hasConstantValue() instead of PHINode::hasConstantOrUndefValue(). Such a phi was reported as divergent. This is different from the older divergence analysis which treats such a phi as uniform. Fixed uniformity analysis to match the older behaviour. The original behaviour was added to DivergenceAnalysis in D19013. But it is not clear if relying on the undef value is safe. The defined values are not constant per se; they just happen to be uniform and the non-constant uniform value may not dominate the PHI.
