These functions are called from lowering patterns. All IR modifications
in a pattern must be performed through the provided rewriter, but these
functions used to instantiate a new `OpBuilder`, bypassing the provided
rewriter.
On lowering from `memref` to LLVM, `malloc` and other intrinsic
functions from `libc` will be declared in the current module. User's
redefinition of these reserved functions will poison the internal
analysis with wrong prototype. This patch adds assertion on the found
function's type and reports if it mismatch with the intended type.

Printing strings within integration tests is currently quite annoyingly
verbose, and can't be tucked into shared helpers as the types depend on
the length of the string:
```
llvm.mlir.global internal constant @hello_world("Hello, World!\0")
func.func @entry() {
%0 = llvm.mlir.addressof @hello_world : !llvm.ptr<array<14 x i8>>
%1 = llvm.mlir.constant(0 : index) : i64
%2 = llvm.getelementptr %0[%1, %1]
: (!llvm.ptr<array<14 x i8>>, i64, i64) -> !llvm.ptr<i8>
llvm.call @printCString(%2) : (!llvm.ptr<i8>) -> ()
return
}
```
So this patch adds a simple extension to `vector.print` to simplify
this:
```
func.func @entry() {
// Print a vector of characters ;)
vector.print str "Hello, World!"
return
}
```
Most of the logic for this is now shared with `cf.assert` which already
does something similar.
Depends on #68694
