[Flang] Allow Intrinsic simpification with min/maxloc dim and scalar result (#81619)

This makes an adjustment to the existing fir minloc/maxloc generation
code to handle functions with a dim=1 that produce a scalar result. This
should allow us to get the same benefits as the existing generated
minmax reductions.

This is a recommit of #76194 with an extra alteration to the end of
genRuntimeMinMaxlocBody to make sure we convert the output array to the
correct type (a `box<heap<i32>>`, not `box<heap<array<1xi32>>>`) to
prevent writing the wrong type of box into it. This still allocates the
data as a `array<1xi32>`, converting it into a i32 assuming that is
safe. An alternative would be to allocate the data as a i32 and change
more of the accesses to it throughout genRuntimeMinMaxlocBody.

Flang

Flang is a ground-up implementation of a Fortran front end written in modern C++. It started off as the f18 project (https://github.com/flang-compiler/f18) with an aim to replace the previous flang project (https://github.com/flang-compiler/flang) and address its various deficiencies. F18 was subsequently accepted into the LLVM project and rechristened as Flang.

Please note that flang is not ready yet for production usage.

Getting Started

Read more about flang in the docs directory. Start with the compiler overview.

To better understand Fortran as a language and the specific grammar accepted by flang, read Fortran For C Programmers and flang's specifications of the Fortran grammar and the OpenMP grammar.

Treatment of language extensions is covered in this document.

To understand the compilers handling of intrinsics, see the discussion of intrinsics.

To understand how a flang program communicates with libraries at runtime, see the discussion of runtime descriptors.

If you're interested in contributing to the compiler, read the style guide and also review how flang uses modern C++ features.

If you are interested in writing new documentation, follow LLVM's Markdown style guide.

Consult the Getting Started with Flang for information on building and running flang.
