Reapply [IR] Initial introduction of llvm.experimental.memset_pattern (#97583)

Relands 7ff3a9acd84654c9ec2939f45ba27f162ae7fbc3 after regenerating the
test case.

Supersedes the draft PR #94992, taking a different approach following
feedback:
* Lower in PreISelIntrinsicLowering
* Don't require that the number of bytes to set is a compile-time
constant
* Define llvm.memset_pattern rather than llvm.memset_pattern.inline

As discussed in the [RFC
thread](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-introducing-an-llvm-memset-pattern-inline-intrinsic/79496),
the intent is that the intrinsic will be lowered to loops, a sequence of
stores, or libcalls depending on the expected cost and availability of
libcalls on the target. Right now, there's just a single lowering path
that aims to handle all cases. My intent would be to follow up with
additional PRs that add additional optimisations when possible (e.g.
when libcalls are available, when arguments are known to be constant
etc).

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
