[GlobalISel] NFC: Have LLT::getSizeInBits/Bytes return a TypeSize.

To reflect that the size may be scalable, a TypeSize is returned
instead of an unsigned. In places where the result is used,
it currently relies on an implicit cast of TypeSize -> uint64_t,
which asserts that the type is not scalable.

This patch is NFC for fixed-width vectors.

[GlobalISel] NFC: Change LLT::vector to take ElementCount.

This also adds new interfaces for the fixed- and scalable case:
* LLT::fixed_vector
* LLT::scalable_vector

The strategy for migrating to the new interfaces was as follows:
* If the new LLT is a (modified) clone of another LLT, taking the
same number of elements, then use LLT::vector(OtherTy.getElementCount())
or if the number of elements is halfed/doubled, it uses .divideCoefficientBy(2)
or operator*. That is because there is no reason to specifically restrict
the types to 'fixed_vector'.
* If the algorithm works on the number of elements (as unsigned), then
just use fixed_vector. This will need to be fixed up in the future when
modifying the algorithm to also work for scalable vectors, and will need
then need additional tests to confirm the behaviour works the same for
scalable vectors.
* If the test used the '/*Scalable=*/true` flag of LLT::vector, then
this is replaced by LLT::scalable_vector.

The changes are mostly mechanical and aim to be non-functional changes

For scalable vectors some unit tests have been added, but no effort has
been put into making any of the GlobalISel algorithms work with scalable

[GlobalISel] Enable legalizing non-power-of-2 sized types.

This changes the interface of how targets describe how to legalize, see
the below description.

1. Interface for targets to describe how to legalize.

In GlobalISel, the API in the LegalizerInfo class is the main interface
for targets to specify which types are legal for which operations, and
what to do to turn illegal type/operation combinations into legal ones.

For each operation the type sizes that can be legalized without having
to change the size of the type are specified with a call to setAction.
This isn't different to how GlobalISel worked before. For example, for a
target that supports 32 and 64 bit adds natively:

for (auto Ty : {s32, s64})
setAction({G_ADD, 0, s32}, Legal);

or for a target that needs a library call for a 32 bit division:

setAction({G_SDIV, s32}, Libcall);

The main conceptual change to the LegalizerInfo API, is in specifying
how to legalize the type sizes for which a change of size is needed. For
example, in the above example, how to specify how all types from i1 to
i8388607 (apart from s32 and s64 which are legal) need to be legalized
and expressed in terms of operations on the available legal sizes
(again, i32 and i64 in this case). Before, the implementation only
allowed specifying power-of-2-sized types (e.g. setAction({G_ADD, 0,
s128}, NarrowScalar). A worse limitation was that if you'd wanted to
specify how to legalize all the sized types as allowed by the LLVM-IR
LangRef, i1 to i8388607, you'd have to call setAction 8388607-3 times
and probably would need a lot of memory to store all of these
specifications.

Instead, the legalization actions that need to change the size of the
type are specified now using a "SizeChangeStrategy". For example:

setLegalizeScalarToDifferentSizeStrategy(
G_ADD, 0, widenToLargerAndNarrowToLargest);

This example indicates that for type sizes for which there is a larger
size that can be legalized towards, do it by Widening the size.
For example, G_ADD on s17 will be legalized by first doing WidenScalar
to make it s32, after which it's legal.
The "NarrowToLargest" indicates what to do if there is no larger size
that can be legalized towards. E.g. G_ADD on s92 will be legalized by
doing NarrowScalar to s64.

Another example, taken from the ARM backend is:
for (unsigned Op : {G_SDIV, G_UDIV}) {
setLegalizeScalarToDifferentSizeStrategy(Op, 0,
widenToLargerTypesUnsupportedOtherwise);
if (ST.hasDivideInARMMode())
setAction({Op, s32}, Legal);
else
setAction({Op, s32}, Libcall);
}

For this example, G_SDIV on s8, on a target without a divide
instruction, would be legalized by first doing action (WidenScalar,
s32), followed by (Libcall, s32).

The same principle is also followed for when the number of vector lanes
on vector data types need to be changed, e.g.:

setAction({G_ADD, LLT::vector(8, 8)}, LegalizerInfo::Legal);
setAction({G_ADD, LLT::vector(16, 8)}, LegalizerInfo::Legal);
setAction({G_ADD, LLT::vector(4, 16)}, LegalizerInfo::Legal);
setAction({G_ADD, LLT::vector(8, 16)}, LegalizerInfo::Legal);
setAction({G_ADD, LLT::vector(2, 32)}, LegalizerInfo::Legal);
setAction({G_ADD, LLT::vector(4, 32)}, LegalizerInfo::Legal);
setLegalizeVectorElementToDifferentSizeStrategy(
G_ADD, 0, widenToLargerTypesUnsupportedOtherwise);

As currently implemented here, vector types are legalized by first
making the vector element size legal, followed by then making the number
of lanes legal. The strategy to follow in the first step is set by a
call to setLegalizeVectorElementToDifferentSizeStrategy, see example
above. The strategy followed in the second step
"moreToWiderTypesAndLessToWidest" (see code for its definition),
indicating that vectors are widened to more elements so they map to
natively supported vector widths, or when there isn't a legal wider
vector, split the vector to map it to the widest vector supported.

Therefore, for the above specification, some example legalizations are:
* getAction({G_ADD, LLT::vector(3, 3)})
returns {WidenScalar, LLT::vector(3, 8)}
* getAction({G_ADD, LLT::vector(3, 8)})
then returns {MoreElements, LLT::vector(8, 8)}
* getAction({G_ADD, LLT::vector(20, 8)})
returns {FewerElements, LLT::vector(16, 8)}


2. Key implementation aspects.

How to legalize a specific (operation, type index, size) tuple is
represented by mapping intervals of integers representing a range of
size types to an action to take, e.g.:

setScalarAction({G_ADD, LLT:scalar(1)},
{{1, WidenScalar}, // bit sizes [ 1, 31[
{32, Legal}, // bit sizes [32, 33[
{33, WidenScalar}, // bit sizes [33, 64[
{64, Legal}, // bit sizes [64, 65[
{65, NarrowScalar} // bit sizes [65, +inf[
});

Please note that most of the code to do the actual lowering of
non-power-of-2 sized types is currently missing, this is just trying to
make it possible for targets to specify what is legal, and how non-legal
types should be legalized. Probably quite a bit of further work is
needed in the actual legalizing and the other passes in GlobalISel to
support non-power-of-2 sized types.

I hope the documentation in LegalizerInfo.h and the examples provided in the
various {Target}LegalizerInfo.cpp and LegalizerInfoTest.cpp explains well
enough how this is meant to be used.

This drops the need for LLT::{half,double}...Size().

This fixes PR32471.

As comment 10 on that bug report highlights
(https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=32471#c10), there are quite a
few different defendable design tradeoffs that could be made, including
not representing pointers at all in LLT.

I decided to go for representing vector-of-pointer as a concept in LLT,
while keeping the size of the LLT type 64 bits (this is an increase from
48 bits before). My rationale for keeping pointers explicit is that on
some targets probably it's very handy to have the distinction between
pointer and non-pointer (e.g. 68K has a different register bank for
pointers IIRC). If we keep a scalar pointer, it probably is easiest to
also have a vector-of-pointers to keep LLT relatively conceptually clean
and orthogonal, while we don't have a very strong reason to break that
orthogonality. Once we gain more experience on the use of LLT, we can
of course reconsider this direction.

Rejecting vector-of-pointer types in the IRTranslator is also an option
to avoid the crash reported in PR32471, but that is only a very
short-term solution; also needs quite a bit of code tweaks in places,
and is probably fragile. Therefore I didn't consider this the best
option.

I decided to go for representing vector-of-pointer as a concept in LLT,
while keeping the size of the LLT type 64 bits (this is an increase from
48 bits before). My rationale for keeping pointers explicit is that on
some targets probably it's very handy to have the distinction between
pointer and non-pointer (e.g. 68K has a different register bank for
pointers IIRC). If we keep a scalar pointer, it probably is easiest to
also have a vector-of-pointers to keep LLT relatively conceptually clean
and orthogonal, while we don't have a very strong reason to break that
orthogonality. Once we gain more experience on the use of LLT, we can
of course reconsider this direction.

Rejecting vector-of-pointer types in the IRTranslator is also an option
to avoid the crash reported in PR32471, but that is only a very
short-term solution; also needs quite a bit of code tweaks in places,
and is probably fragile. Therefore I didn't consider this the best
option.

Recommit: [globalisel] Change LLT constructor string into an LLT-based object that knows how to generate it.

Summary:
This will allow future patches to inspect the details of the LLT. The implementation is now split between
the Support and CodeGen libraries to allow TableGen to use this class without introducing layering concerns.

Thanks to Ahmed Bougacha for finding a reasonable way to avoid the layering issue and providing the version of this patch without that problem.

The problem with the previous commit appears to have been that TableGen was including CodeGen/LowLevelType.h instead of Support/LowLevelTypeImpl.h.
