[AMDGPU] Add custom MachineValueType entries for buffer fat poiners (#127692)

The old hack of returning v5/v6i32 for the fat and strided buffer
pointers was causing issuse during vectorization queries that expected
to be able to construct a VectorType from the return value of `MVT
getPointerType()`. On example is in the test attached to this PR, which
used to crash.

Now, we define the custom MVT entries, the 160-bit
amdgpuBufferFatPointer and 192-bit amdgpuBufferStridedPointer, which are
used to represent ptr addrspace(7) and ptr addrspace(9) respectively.

Neither of these types will be present at the time of lowering to a
SelectionDAG or other MIR - MVT::amdgpuBufferFatPointer is eliminated by
the LowerBufferFatPointers pass and amdgpu::bufferStridedPointer is not
currently used outside of the SPIR-V translator (which does its own
lowering).

An alternative solution would be to add MVT::i160 and MVT::i192. We
elect not to do this now as it would require changes to unrelated code
and runs the risk of breaking any SelectionDAG code that assumes that
the MVT series are all powers of two (and so can be split apart and
merged back together) in ways that wouldn't be obvious if someone tried
to use MVT::i160 in codegen. If i160 is added at some future point,
these custom types can be retired.

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
