[c++20] P1907R1: Support for generalized non-type template arguments of scalar type. (#78041)
Previously committed as 9e08e51a20d0d2b1c5724bb17e969d036fced4cd, and
reverted because a dependency commit was reverted, then committed again
as 4b574008aef5a7235c1f894ab065fe300d26e786 and reverted again because
"dependency commit" 5a391d38ac6c561ba908334d427f26124ed9132e was
reverted. But it doesn't seem that 5a391d38ac6c was a real dependency
for this.

This commit incorporates 4b574008aef5a7235c1f894ab065fe300d26e786 and
18e093faf726d15f210ab4917142beec51848258 by Richard Smith (@zygoloid),
with some minor fixes, most notably:

- `UncommonValue` renamed to `StructuralValue`

- `VK_PRValue` instead of `VK_RValue` as default kind in lvalue and
member pointer handling branch in
`BuildExpressionFromNonTypeTemplateArgumentValue`;

- handling of `StructuralValue` in `IsTypeDeclaredInsideVisitor`;

- filling in `SugaredConverted` along with `CanonicalConverted`
parameter in `Sema::CheckTemplateArgument`;

- minor cleanup in
`TemplateInstantiator::transformNonTypeTemplateParmRef`;

- `TemplateArgument` constructors refactored;

- `ODRHash` calculation for `UncommonValue`;

- USR generation for `UncommonValue`;

- more correct MS compatibility mangling algorithm (tested on MSVC ver.
19.35; toolset ver. 143);

- IR emitting fixed on using a subobject as a template argument when the
corresponding template parameter is used in an lvalue context;

- `noundef` attribute and opaque pointers in `template-arguments` test;

- analysis for C++17 mode is turned off for templates in
`warn-bool-conversion` test; in C++17 and C++20 mode, array reference
used as a template argument of pointer type produces template argument
of UncommonValue type, and
`BuildExpressionFromNonTypeTemplateArgumentValue` makes
`OpaqueValueExpr` for it, and `DiagnoseAlwaysNonNullPointer` cannot see
through it; despite of "These cases should not warn" comment, I'm not
sure about correct behavior; I'd expect a suggestion to replace `if` by
`if constexpr`;

- `temp.arg.nontype/p1.cpp` and `dr18xx.cpp` tests fixed.

IRgen optimization opportunities.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

The common pattern of
--
short x; // or char, etc
(x == 10)
--
generates an zext/sext of x which can easily be avoided.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Bitfields accesses can be shifted to simplify masking and sign
extension. For example, if the bitfield width is 8 and it is
appropriately aligned then is is a lot shorter to just load the char
directly.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

It may be worth avoiding creation of alloca's for formal arguments
for the common situation where the argument is never written to or has
its address taken. The idea would be to begin generating code by using
the argument directly and if its address is taken or it is stored to
then generate the alloca and patch up the existing code.

In theory, the same optimization could be a win for block local
variables as long as the declaration dominates all statements in the
block.

NOTE: The main case we care about this for is for -O0 -g compile time
performance, and in that scenario we will need to emit the alloca
anyway currently to emit proper debug info. So this is blocked by
being able to emit debug information which refers to an LLVM
temporary, not an alloca.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We should try and avoid generating basic blocks which only contain
jumps. At -O0, this penalizes us all the way from IRgen (malloc &
instruction overhead), all the way down through code generation and
assembly time.

On 176.gcc:expr.ll, it looks like over 12% of basic blocks are just
direct branches!
