Refine recursive calls within the simplifier

1) When we know the id of an expression, use the corresponding simplify_*
method rather than the generic simplify_node.
2) Avoid simplify_rec when all operands have been simplified already.
3) Don't call simplify_rec (or simplify_node) when there is nothing to
simplify.

Fixes: diffblue#4988
