[llvm] Use pointer index type for more GEP offsets (pre-codegen)
Many uses of getIntPtrType() were using that type to calculate the neened type for GEP offset arguments. However, some time ago, DataLayout was extended to support pointers where the size of the pointer is not equal to the size of the values used to index it. Much code was already migrated to, for example, use getIndexSizeInBits instead of getPtrSizeInBits, but some rewrites still used getIntPtrType() to get the type for GEP offsets. This commit changes uses of getIntPtrType() to getIndexType() where they are involved in a GEP-related calculation. In at least one case (bounds check insertion) this resolves a compiler crash that the new test added here would previously trigger. This commit does not impact - C library-related rewriting (memcpy()), which are operating under the assumption that intptr_t == size_t. While all the mechanisms for breaking this assumption now exist, doing so is outside the scope of this commit. - Code generation and below. Note that the use of getIntPtrType() in CodeGenPrepare will be changed in a future commit. - Usage of getIntPtrType() in any backend Depends on D143435 Reviewed By: arichardson Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D143437
