Using the pointer type analysis we can re-constitute typed pointers and
populate the correct types in the bitcasts throughout the IR.
This doesn't yet handle all cases, but this should be illustrative as
to the dirction and feasability of
the solution.

DXIL doesn't support attributes added after LLVM 3.7. The DXILPrepare
pass removes those attributes so they should never be present by the
time we reach the DXIL bitcode writer.
In the event that we somehow try to write a newer attribute in the DXIL
writer, we should fail hard (crash), because the output would be
invalid. This case should only be possible if the DXIL writer were
called without DXILPrepare being run first, which shouldn't be possible.
This patch also adds a default case to the switch statement over the
attribute list which covers all the removed cases and any new attribute
kinds that may be added in the future. The default case is handled like
other unsupported cases by a call to llvm_unreachable.
As implemented this patch assumes that Typed pointer support remains in
the llvm::PointerType class, however this could be modified to use a
different subclass of llvm::Type that could be disallowed from use in
other contexts.
This does not rely on inserting typed pointers into the Module, it just
uses the llvm::PointerType class to track and unique types.

This change is a big blob of code that isn't easy to break up. It
either comes in all together as a blob, works and has tests, or it
doesn't do anything.
Logically you can think of this patch as three things:
(1) Adding virtual interfaces so the bitcode writer can be overridden
(2) Adding a new bitcode writer implementation for DXIL
(3) Adding some (optional) crazy CMake goop to build the
DirectXShaderCompiler's llvm-dis as dxil-dis for testing
