Implement CFI for indirect calls via a member function pointer.

Similarly to CFI on virtual and indirect calls, this implementation
tries to use program type information to make the checks as precise
as possible.  The basic way that it works is as follows, where `C`
is the name of the class being defined or the target of a call and
the function type is assumed to be `void()`.

For virtual calls:
- Attach type metadata to the addresses of function pointers in vtables
  (not the functions themselves) of type `void (B::*)()` for each `B`
  that is a recursive dynamic base class of `C`, including `C` itself.
  This type metadata has an annotation that the type is for virtual
  calls (to distinguish it from the non-virtual case).
- At the call site, check that the computed address of the function
  pointer in the vtable has type `void (C::*)()`.

For non-virtual calls:
- Attach type metadata to each non-virtual member function whose address
  can be taken with a member function pointer. The type of a function
  in class `C` of type `void()` is each of the types `void (B::*)()`
  where `B` is a most-base class of `C`. A most-base class of `C`
  is defined as a recursive base class of `C`, including `C` itself,
  that does not have any bases.
- At the call site, check that the function pointer has one of the types
  `void (B::*)()` where `B` is a most-base class of `C`.
