Currently, opaque pointers are supported in two forms: The
-force-opaque-pointers mode, where all pointers are opaque and
typed pointers do not exist. And as a simple ptr type that can
coexist with typed pointers.
This patch removes support for the mixed mode. You either get
typed pointers, or you get opaque pointers, but not both. In the
(current) default mode, using ptr is forbidden. In -opaque-pointers
mode, all pointers are opaque.
The motivation here is that the mixed mode introduces additional
issues that don't exist in fully opaque mode. D105155 is an example
of a design problem. Looking at D109259, it would probably need
additional work to support mixed mode (e.g. to generate GEPs for
typed base but opaque result). Mixed mode will also end up
inserting many casts between i8* and ptr, which would require
significant additional work to consistently avoid.
I don't think the mixed mode is particularly valuable, as it
doesn't align with our end goal. The only thing I've found it to
be moderately useful for is adding some opaque pointer tests in
between typed pointer tests, but I think we can live without that.

For the start shortening optimization, always use a i8 type for
the GEP, as it is a raw offset calculation.
Handling of non-i8* memset/memcpy arguments requires insertion
of casts. These cases were previously miscompiled, as the offset
calculation was performed on the wrong type.
The MemorySSA-based implementation has been enabled without issue
for a while now, so keeping the old implementation around doesn't
seem useful anymore. This drops the MemDep-based implementation.

This patch moves the tests for the old MemDepAnalysis based DSE
implementation to the MemDepAnalysis subdirectory and updates them to
pass -enable-dse-memoryssa=false.
This is in preparation for the switch to MemorySSA-backed DSE.
As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

Summary:
This change teaches DSE that the atomic memory intrinsics can be overwriten
partially in the same way as the non-atomic forms. Specifically, that the
atomic memcpy & memset can be shortened at the end and that the atomic memset
can be shortened at the beginning, if they partially overwritten
by later stores.

Summary:
These tests show that DSE currently does nothing with the atomic memory
intrinsics. Future work will teach DSE how to simplify these.
