[Clang] Enable -fpointer-tbaa by default. (#117244)
Support for more precise TBAA metadata has been added a while ago
(behind the -fpointer-tbaa flag). The more precise TBAA metadata allows
treating accesses of different pointer types as no-alias.

This helps to remove more redundant loads and stores in a number of
workloads.

Some highlights on the impact across llvm-test-suite's MultiSource,
SPEC2006 & SPEC2017 include:
 * +2% more NoAlias results for memory accesses
 * +3% more stores removed by DSE,
 * +4% more loops vectorized.

This closes a relatively big gap to GCC, which has been supporting
disambiguating based on pointer types for a long time.
(https://clang.godbolt.org/z/K7Wbhrz4q)

Pointer-TBAA support for pointers to builtin types has been added in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/76612.

Support for user-defined types has been added in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/110569.

There are 2 recent PRs with bug fixes for special cases uncovered during
testing:
 * https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/116991
 * https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/116596

[TBAA] Extend pointer TBAA to pointers of non-builtin types. (#110569)
Extend the logic added in 123c036bd361d
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/76612) to support pointers to
non-builtin types by using the mangled name of the canonical type.

[TBAA] Add tests with pointers to structs to tbaa-pointers.c.
Precommit tests for follow-up improvements to Clang's TBAA emission.

Also add variants with -pointer-tbaa to tbaa-reference.cpp.

Conversion performed using the script at:

These are only tests where no manual fixup was required.

532dc62b90 [OpaquePtrs][Clang] Add -no-opaque-pointers to tests (NFC)
This adds -no-opaque-pointers to clang tests whose output will
change when opaque pointers are enabled by default. This is
intended to be part of the migration approach described in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/enabling-opaque-pointers-by-default/61322/9.

The patch has been produced by replacing %clang_cc1 with
%clang_cc1 -no-opaque-pointers for tests that fail with opaque
pointers enabled. Worth noting that this doesn't cover all tests,
there's a remaining ~40 tests not using %clang_cc1 that will need
a followup change.

This patch fixes clang to decorate reference accesses as pointers
and not as "omnipotent chars".
