The changes to InstCombine (& SCEV) do seem a bit silly - it doesn't make
anything obviously better to have the caller access the pointers element
type (the thing I'm trying to remove) than the GEP itself, but it's a
helpful migration step. This will allow me to more obviously lock down
GEP (& Load, etc) API usage, then fix all the code that accesses pointer
element types except the places that need to be removed (most of the
InstCombines) anyway - at which point I'll need to just remove all that
code because it won't be meaningful anymore (there will be no pointer
types, so no bitcasts to combine)
SCEV looks like it'll need some restructuring - we'll have to do a bit
more work for GEP canonicalization, since it'll depend on how it's used
if we can even manage to canonicalize it to a non-ugly GEP. I guess we
can do some fun stuff like voting (do 2 out of 3 load from the GEP with
a certain type that gives a pretty GEP? Does every typed use of the GEP
use either a specific type or a generic type (i8*, etc)?)

Summary:
DataLayout keeps the string used for its creation.
As a side effect it is no longer needed in the Module.
This is "almost" NFC, the string is no longer
canonicalized, you can't rely on two "equals" DataLayout
having the same string returned by getStringRepresentation().
Get rid of DataLayoutPass: the DataLayout is in the Module
The DataLayout is "per-module", let's enforce this by not
duplicating it more than necessary.
One more step toward non-optionality of the DataLayout in the
module.
Make DataLayout Non-Optional in the Module
Module->getDataLayout() will never returns nullptr anymore.

We need to figure out how to track ptrtoint values all the
way until result is converted back to a pointer in order
to correctly rewrite the pointer type.
