Following up on the removal of BufferPSV in commit 43b86bf992 ("AMDGPU:
Remove BufferPseudoSourceValue")
It is unclear what exactly the right address space for images should be.
They seem morally closest to buffers, so that's what I went with. In
practical terms, address space 7 is better than address space 0 because
it can't alias with LDS.

The use of a PSV for buffer intrinsics is misleading because it may be
misinterpreted as all buffer intrinsics accessing the same address in
memory, which is clearly not true.
Instead, build MachineMemOperands without a pointer value but with an
address space, so that address space-based alias analysis can still
work.
There is a lot of test churn because previously address space 4
(constant address space) was used as an address space for buffer
intrinsics. This doesn't make much sense and seems to have been an
accident -- see the change in
AMDGPUTargetMachine::getAddressSpaceForPseudoSourceKind.

GFX11 has a new message type MSG_DEALLOC_VGPRS which can be used to
release a shader's VGPRs. Sending this at the end of a shader (just
before the s_endpgm) can help overall system performance in cases where
the s_endpgm would have to wait for outstanding VMEM stores to complete
before releasing the VGPRs.
