[flang] Ensure pointer components are always established
Follow up of https://reviews.llvm.org/D149979 for lowering. In Fortran, it is possible to assign a pointer to another pointer with an undefined association status. When using the runtime do to none trivial pointer association, if the descriptor are garbage, the runtime cannot safely detect that it has a garbage descriptor, and it cannot safely know the descriptor size leading to undefined behavior. Another reason to initialize descriptor of pointers is to record any non deferred length parameter value. Hence, although this is not required by Fortran, f18 always initialize pointers to NULL(). This was already done in lowering for whole pointer object, but not for pointer components. This patch uses the related semantics patch that updated derivedTypeSpe::HasDefaultInitialization to ensure pointer components of local and global object are always initialized. It adds tests to ensure that allocation of such derived type uses the runtime to ensure the storage is initialized, and that structure constructors are setting the descriptor component to NULL() if no initial target is given.
