This is a followup to D104662 to generate slightly nicer code for
pointer overflow checks. Bypass expandAddToGEP and instead
explicitly generate i8 GEPs. This saves some bitcasts and negates
the value in a more obvious way. In particular, this prevents SCEV
from looking through the umul.with.overflow, same as in the integer
case.
The wrapping-pointer-ni.ll test deserves a comment: Previously,
this generated a typed GEP which used the umulo argument rather
than the multiplication result. This results in more compact IR in
that case, but effectively does the multiplication twice, the
second one is just hidden in the GEP. Reusing the umulo result
seems pretty reasonable to me.

We'd special cased this logic to use pointer types for non-integral pointers, but there's no reason we can't do that for all pointer types. Doing it this was has a few advantages:
a) The code itself becomes more straight forward, and easier to test.
b) We avoid introducing ptrtoint into programs which didn't have them in the source.
c) The resulting codegen is easier to analyze and simplify (mostly due to lack of ptrtoint).
Note that there are some test diffs, but a) running them through instcombine helps a ton, and b) there's enough missing obvious transforms on both before and after IR that it's clear this isn't performance sensitive.
This is mostly motivated by cleaning up mentions of non-integrals to have a clearer idea of what we actually need to support.
