[SPIR-V] Do not use OpenCL metadata for ptr element type resolution (#82678)
This pull request aims to remove any dependency on OpenCL/SPIR-V type
information in LLVM IR metadata. While, using metadata might simplify
and prettify the resulting SPIR-V output (and restore some of the
information missed in the transformation to opaque pointers), the
overall methodology for resolving kernel parameter types is highly
inefficient.

The high-level strategy is to assign kernel parameter types in this order:

1. Resolving the types using builtin function calls as mangled names
must contain type information or by looking up builtin definition in
SPIRVBuiltins.td. Then:

- Assigning the type temporarily using an intrinsic and later setting
the right SPIR-V type in SPIRVGlobalRegistry after IRTranslation
 - Inserting a bitcast
2. Defaulting to LLVM IR types (in case of pointers the generic i8*
type or types from byval/byref attributes)

In case of type incompatibility (e.g. parameter defined initially as
sampler_t and later used as image_t) the error will be found early on
before IRTranslation (in the SPIRVEmitIntrinsics pass).
