Renames the current lowering scheme to "module" and introduces two new
ones, "kernel" and "table", plus a "hybrid" that chooses between those three
on a per-variable basis.
Unit tests are set up to pass with the default lowering of "module" or "hybrid"
with this patch defaulting to "module", which will be a less dramatic codegen
change relative to the current. This reflects the sparsity of test coverage for
the table lowering method. Hybrid is better than module in every respect and
will be default in a subsequent patch.

The association between kernel and struct is done by symbol name.
This doesn't work robustly for anonymous kernels as shown by the modified
test case.
An alternative association between function and struct can be constructed
if necessary, probably though metadata, but on the basis that we currently
miscompile anonymous kernels and that they are difficult to construct from
application code and difficult to call from the runtime, this patch makes
it a fatal error for now.

Introduces a string attribute, amdgpu-requires-module-lds, to allow
eliding the module.lds block from kernels. Will allocate the block as before
if the attribute is missing or has its default value of true.
Patch uses the new attribute to detect the simplest possible instance of this,
where a kernel makes no calls and thus cannot call any functions that use LDS.
Tests updated to match, coverage was already good. Interesting cases is in
lower-module-lds-offsets where annotating the kernel allows the backend to pick
a different (in this case better) variable ordering than previously. A later
patch will avoid moving kernel variables into module.lds when the kernel can
have this attribute, allowing optimal ordering and locally unused variable
elimination.
