In order to enable the LLVM frontend to better analyze buffer
operations (and to potentially enable more precise analyses on the
backend), define versions of the raw and structured buffer intrinsics
that use `ptr addrspace(8)` instead of `<4 x i32>` to represent their
rsrc arguments.
The new intrinsics are named by replacing `buffer.` with `buffer.ptr`.
One advantage to these intrinsic definitions is that, instead of
specifying that a buffer load/store will read/write some memory, we
can indicate that the memory read or written will be based on the
pointer argument. This means that, for example, a read from a
`noalias` buffer can be pulled out of a loop that is modifying a
distinct buffer.
In the future, we will define custom PseudoSourceValues that will
allow us to package up the (buffer, index, offset) triples that buffer
intrinsics contain and allow for more precise backend analysis.
This work also enables creating address space 7, which represents
manipulation of raw buffers using native LLVM load and store
instructions.
Where tests simply used a buffer intrinsic while testing some other
code path (such as the tests for VGPR spills), they have been updated
to use the new intrinsic form. Tests that are "about" buffer
intrinsics (for instance, those that ensure that they codegen as
expected) have been duplicated, either within existing files or into
new ones.

Codegen for the raw/struct buffer access intrinsics would update the
offset in the MMO to reflect the combined offset, if it was known to be
constant. If the combined offset was not known to be constant, or if
there was an index, it would set the offset in the MMO to 0. This is
unsafe because it makes it look like the access does not alias with
another access with a fixed non-zero offset.
Fix these cases by setting the pointer in the MMO to null, to reflect
the fact that we do not have any known IR value pointer + constant
offset for the access.

Summary:
The machine instruction scheduler was illegally moving a buffer store
past a buffer load with the same descriptor and offset. Fixed by marking
buffer ops as mayAlias and isAliased. This may be overly conservative,
and we may need to revisit.
