This to protect against non-sensical instruction sequences being assembled,
which would either cause asserts/crashes further down, or a Wasm module being output that doesn't validate.
Unlike a validator, this type checker is able to give type-errors as part of the parsing process, which makes the assembler much friendlier to be used by humans writing manual input.
Because the MC system is single pass (instructions aren't even stored in MC format, they are directly output) the type checker has to be single pass as well, which means that from now on .globaltype and .functype decls must come before their use. An extra pass is added to Codegen to collect information for this purpose, since AsmPrinter is normally single pass / streaming as well, and would otherwise generate this information on the fly.
A `-no-type-check` flag was added to llvm-mc (and any other tools that take asm input) that surpresses type errors, as a quick escape hatch for tests that were not intended to be type correct.
This is a first version of the type checker that ignores control flow, i.e. it checks that types are correct along the linear path, but not the branch path. This will still catch most errors. Branch checking could be added in the future.

As we have been missing support for WebAssembly globals on the IR level,
the lowering of WASM_SYMBOL_TYPE_GLOBAL to IR was incomplete. This
commit fleshes out the lowering support, lowering references to and
definitions of addrspace(1) values to correctly typed
WASM_SYMBOL_TYPE_GLOBAL symbols.
Depends on D101608.

This patch adds support for WebAssembly globals in LLVM IR, representing
them as pointers to global values, in a non-default, non-integral
address space. Instruction selection legalizes loads and stores to
these pointers to new WebAssemblyISD nodes GLOBAL_GET and GLOBAL_SET.
Once the lowering creates the new nodes, tablegen pattern matches those
and converts them to Wasm global.get/set of the appropriate type.
