This is unneeded in almost all circumstances. We only return an APValue
back to clang when the evaluation is finished, and that is always done
by an EvalEmitter - which has its own implementation of the Ret
instructions.
The Float print type is backed by the Floating class, which in turn uses
APFloat, which might heap-allocate memory, so might be expensive to
copy.
Add an 'AsRef' bit to the ArgType tablegen class, which defines whether
we pass the argument around by copy or by reference.
With the current set of opcodes, this saves 3460 lines in the generated
Opcodes.inc in release builds (-17%).

Add Call() and CallVoid() ops and use them to call functions. Only
FunctionDecls are supported for now.

The Clang interpreter's bytecode uses a packed stream of bytes
representation, but also wants to have some opcodes take pointers as
arguments, which are currently embedded in the bytecode directly.
However, CHERI, and thus Arm's upcoming experimental Morello prototype,
provide spatial memory safety for C/C++ by implementing language-level
(and sub-language-level) pointers as capabilities, which track bounds,
permissions and validity in hardware. This uses tagged memory with a
single tag bit at every capability-aligned address, and so storing
pointers to unaligned addresses results in the tag being stripped,
leading to a tag fault when the pointer is ultimately dereferenced at a
later point.
In order to support a stricter C/C++ implementation like CHERI, we no
longer store pointers directly in the bytecode, instead storing them in
a table and embedding the index in the bytecode.

Summary:
This patch introduces the skeleton of the constexpr interpreter,
capable of evaluating a simple constexpr functions consisting of
if statements. The interpreter is described in more detail in the
RFC. Further patches will add more features.

Breaks BUILD_SHARED_LIBS build, introduces cycles in library dependency
graphs. (clangInterp depends on clangAST which depends on clangInterp)
