[IR] Change representation of getelementptr inrange (#84341)
As part of the migration to ptradd
(https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-replacing-getelementptr-with-ptradd/68699),
we need to change the representation of the `inrange` attribute, which
is used for vtable splitting.

Currently, inrange is specified as follows:

```
getelementptr inbounds ({ [4 x ptr], [4 x ptr] }, ptr @vt, i64 0, inrange i32 1, i64 2)
```

The `inrange` is placed on a GEP index, and all accesses must be "in
range" of that index. The new representation is as follows:

```
getelementptr inbounds inrange(-16, 16) ({ [4 x ptr], [4 x ptr] }, ptr @vt, i64 0, i32 1, i64 2)
```

This specifies which offsets are "in range" of the GEP result. The new
representation will continue working when canonicalizing to ptradd
representation:

```
getelementptr inbounds inrange(-16, 16) (i8, ptr @vt, i64 48)
```

The inrange offsets are relative to the return value of the GEP. An
alternative design could make them relative to the source pointer
instead. The result-relative format was chosen on the off-chance that we
want to extend support to non-constant GEPs in the future, in which case
this variant is more expressive.

This implementation "upgrades" the old inrange representation in bitcode
by simply dropping it. This is a very niche feature, and I don't think
trying to upgrade it is worthwhile. Let me know if you disagree.

92f8a6eba7 [lld/mac] Fix --start-lib/--end-lib with split thinlto inputs
Fixes #59162. The test has a comment explaining what's going on.
See also Symbol::extract() in lld/ELF/Symbols.cpp.

The included test sadly also passes if I pass just bd448f01a62,
while doing that isn't enough to make my bigger repro case work
(if I port just that, something else asserts later on, but with
this fix here everything's fine in my bigger repro).
