This introduces a new `ptrtoaddr` instruction which is similar to
`ptrtoint` but has two differences:
1) Unlike `ptrtoint`, `ptrtoaddr` does not capture provenance
2) `ptrtoaddr` only extracts (and then extends/truncates) the low
index-width bits of the pointer
For most architectures, difference 2) does not matter since index (address)
width and pointer representation width are the same, but this does make a
difference for architectures that have pointers that aren't just plain
integer addresses such as AMDGPU fat pointers or CHERI capabilities.
This commit introduces textual and bitcode IR support as well as basic code
generation, but optimization passes do not handle the new instruction yet
so it may result in worse code than using ptrtoint. Follow-up changes will
update capture tracking, etc. for the new instruction.

This patch updates/adds LLVM_DEBUG dumps.
It moves the DEBUG_TYPE into SandboxVectorizer/Debug.h such that it can
be shared across all components of the vectorizer.
When the operand comes from multiple inputs then we need additional
packing code. When the operands are scalar then we can use a single
InsertElementInst. But when the operands are vectors then we need a
chain of ExtractElementInst and InsertElementInst instructions to insert
the vector value into the destination vector. This is what this patch
implements.
This patch fixes a bug in the creation of shuffle masks when vectorizing
vectors in case of a diamond reuse with shuffle. The mask needs to
enumerate all elements of a vector, not treat the original vector value
as a single element. That is: if vectorizing two <2 x float> vectors
into a <4 x float> the mask needs to have 4 indices, not just 2.
SelectInsts need special treatment because they are not always
straightforward to vectorize. This patch disables vectorization unless
they are trivially vectorizable.
This patch implements the diamond pattern where we are vectorizing
toward the top of the diamond from both edges, but the second edge may
use elements from a different vector or just scalar values. This
requires some additional packing code (see lit test).
InstrMaps is a helper data structure that maps scalars to vectors and
the reverse. This is used by the vectorizer to figure out which vectors
it can extract scalar values from.
