[opaque pointer type] Avoid using PointerType::getElementType for a few cases of CallInst

Calls to llvm::Value::mutateType are becoming extra-sensitive now that
instructions have extra type information that will not be derived from
operands or result type (alloca, gep, load, call/invoke, etc... ). The
special-handling for mutateType will get more complicated as this work
continues - it might be worth making mutateType virtual & pushing the
complexity down into the classes that need special handling. But with
only two significant uses of mutateType (vectorization and linking) this
seems OK for now.

Totally open to ideas/suggestions/improvements, of course.

With this, and a bunch of exceptions, we can roundtrip an indirect call
site through bitcode and IR. (a direct call site is actually trickier...
I haven't figured out how to deal with the IR deserializer's lazy
construction of Function/GlobalVariable decl's based on the type of the
entity which means looking through the "pointer to T" type referring to
the global)
