[llvm] use 64-bit types for result of getDwarfRegNum (NFC) (#109494)

The register encoding used by NVPTX and cuda-gdb basically use strings
encoded as numbers. They are always within 64-bits, but typically
outside of 32-bits, since they often need at least 5 characters.

This patch changes the signature of `MCRegisterInfo::getDwarfRegNum` and
some related data structures to use 64-bit numbers to accommodate
encodings like this.

Additionally, `MCRegisterInfo::getDwarfRegNum` is marked as virtual, so
that targets with peculiar dwarf register mapping schemes (such as
NVPTX) can override its behavior.

I originally tried to do a broader switch to 64-bit types for registers,
but it caused many problems. There are various places in code generation
where registers are not just treated as 32-bit numbers, but also treat
certain bit offsets as flags. So I limited the change as much as
possible to just the output of `getDwarfRegNum`. Keeping the types used
by `DwarfLLVMRegPair` as unsigned preserves the current behaviors. The
only way to give a 64-bit output from `getDwarfRegNum` that actually
needs more than 32-bits is to override `getDwarfRegNum` and provide an
implementation that sidesteps the use of the `DwarfLLVMRegPair` maps
defined in tablegen files.

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.
