Define the function @llvm.amdgcn.make.buffer.rsrc, which take a 64-bit
pointer, the 16-bit stride/swizzling constant that replace the high 16
bits of an address in a buffer resource, the 32-bit extent/number of
elements, and the 32-bit flags (the latter two being the 3rd and 4th
wards of the resource), and combines them into a ptr addrspace(8).
This intrinsic is lowered during the early phases of the backend.
This intrinsic is needed so that alias analysis can correctly infer
that a certain buffer resource points to the same memory as some
global pointer. Previous methods of constructing buffer resources,
which relied on ptrtoint, would not allow for such an inference.

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.

This is a follow-up to b71edfaa4ec3c998aadb35255ce2f60bba2940b0
since I forgot the lit.local.cfg files in that one.
Reformatting is done with `black`.
If you end up having problems merging this commit because you
have made changes to a python file, the best way to handle that
is to run git checkout --ours <yourfile> and then reformat it
with black.
If you run into any problems, post to discourse about it and
we will try to help.
