Always read bitcode according to the -opaque-pointers mode. Do not
perform auto-detection to implicitly switch to typed pointers.
This is a step towards removing typed pointer support, and also
eliminates the class of problems where linking may fail if a typed
pointer module is loaded before an opaque pointer module. (The
latest place where this was encountered is D139924, but this has
previously been fixed in other places doing bitcode linking as well.)

OpenCL 2.0 introduces the notion of memory scopes in atomic operations to
global and local memory. These scopes restrict how synchronization is
achieved, which can result in improved performance.
This change extends existing notion of synchronization scopes in LLVM to
support arbitrary scopes expressed as target-specific strings, in addition to
the already defined scopes (single thread, system).
The LLVM IR and MIR syntax for expressing synchronization scopes has changed
to use *syncscope("<scope>")*, where <scope> can be "singlethread" (this
replaces *singlethread* keyword), or a target-specific name. As before, if
the scope is not specified, it defaults to CrossThread/System scope.
Implementation details:
- Mapping from synchronization scope name/string to synchronization scope id
is stored in LLVM context;
- CrossThread/System and SingleThread scopes are pre-defined to efficiently
check for known scopes without comparing strings;
- Synchronization scope names are stored in SYNC_SCOPE_NAMES_BLOCK in
the bitcode.
