Strengthen out-of-bounds guarantees for buffer accesses by disallowing
buffer accesses with alignment lower than natural alignment.
This is needed to specifically address the edge case where an access
starts out-of-bounds and then enters in-bounds, as the hardware would
treat the entire access as being out-of-bounds. This is normally not
needed for most users, but at least one graphics device extension
(VK_EXT_robustness2) has very strict requirements - in-bounds accesses
must return correct value, and out-of-bounds accesses must return zero.
The direct consequence of the patch is that a buffer access at negative
address is not merged by load-store-vectorizer with one at a positive
address, which fixes a CTS test.
Targets that do not care about the new behavior are advised to use the
new target feature relaxed-buffer-oob-mode that maintains the state from
before the patch.
This is an experimental address space for strided buffers. These buffers
can have structs as elements and
a stride > 1.
These pointers allow the indexed access in units of stride, i.e., they
point at `buffer[index * stride]`.
Thus, we can use the `idxen` modifier for buffer loads.
We assign address space 9 to 192-bit buffer pointers which contain a
128-bit descriptor, a 32-bit offset and a 32-bit index. Essentially,
they are fat buffer pointers with an additional 32-bit index.
vectorize-buffer-fat-pointer.ll required a manual check line fix.
vector-alloca-addrspacecast.ll required a manual fixup of a check
line. partial-regcopy-and-spill-missed-at-regalloc.ll required
re-running update_mir_test_checks. The HSA metadata tests required
avoiding the script touching the type name in the metadata.
annotate-noclobber.ll ran into one update script bug. It deleted a
check line with a 0 offset GEP, moving the following -NEXT check
logically up one line.
Over the past day or so, i've took a large swing at our tests,
and reduced the number of tests that were still using the old syntax
from ~1800 to just 200.
Left to handle: (as it is seen in this patch)
* Transforms/LSR
* Transforms/CGP
* Transforms/TypePromotion
* Transforms/HardwareLoops
* Analysis/*
* some misc.
I think this is the right point to start actively refusing
to honor the old syntax, except for the old tests,
to prevent the old syntax from creeping back in.
Thus, let's add temporary default-off flag,
and if it is not passed refuse to accept old syntax.
The tests that still need porting are annotated with this flag.

Add an experimental buffer fat pointer address space that is currently
unhandled in the backend. This commit reserves address space 7 as a
non-integral pointer repsenting the 160-bit fat pointer (128-bit buffer
descriptor + 32-bit offset) that is heavily used in graphics workloads
using the AMDGPU backend.
