Clarify a few things in the inbounds description.
Describing inbounds in terms of infinitely precise arithmetic prohibits the assumption address-space-sized integer arithmetic will wrap, with a wrapped-around value landing within the same object. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@79538 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
