SIInsertWaitcnts inserts waitcnt instructions to resolve data
dependencies. The GFX10+ vscnt (VMEM store count) counter is never used
in this way. It is only used to resolve memory dependencies, and that is
handled by SIMemoryLegalizer. Hence there is no need to conservatively
wait for vscnt to be 0 on function entry and before returns.

This will allow eliminating the intrinsic uses in the device
libraries, which will remove a subtarget dependency on the f16
version of the intrinsic.
We previously had some wrong patterns for this under unsafe math
which I've removed.
Do it in IR partially to take advantage of the much better isKnownNeverNaN
handling, and partially out of laziness to avoid repeating this in the DAG
and GlobalISel path. Plus I think this should be done much earlier. Ideally
this would be in InstCombine, but you can't introduce target intrinsics
from a generic instruction rooted pattern.
