[mlir] LLVM dialect: use addressof instead of constant to create function pointers

`llvm.mlir.constant` was originally introduced as an LLVM dialect counterpart
to `std.constant`. As such, it was supporting "function pointer" constants
derived from the symbol name. This is different from `std.constant` that allows
for creation of a "function" constant since MLIR, unlike LLVM IR, supports
this. Later, `llvm.mlir.addressof` was introduced as an Op that obtains a
constant pointer to a global in the LLVM dialect. It naturally extends to
functions (in LLVM IR, functions are globals) and should be used for defining
"function pointer" values instead.

Fixes PR46344.
