Sanjoy Das 5b5782c20e [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Fix a bug on creating gc_relocate for pointer to vector of pointers
Summary:
In RewriteStatepointsForGC pass, we create a gc_relocate intrinsic for
each relocated pointer, and the gc_relocate has the same type with the
pointer. During the creation of gc_relocate intrinsic, llvm requires to
mangle its type. However, llvm does not support mangling of all possible
types. RewriteStatepointsForGC will hit an assertion failure when it
tries to create a gc_relocate for pointer to vector of pointers because
mangling for vector of pointers is not supported.

This patch changes the way RewriteStatepointsForGC pass creates
gc_relocate. For each relocated pointer, we erase the type of pointers
and create an unified gc_relocate of type i8 addrspace(1)*. Then a
bitcast is inserted to convert the gc_relocate to the correct type. In
this way, gc_relocate does not need to deal with different types of
pointers and the unsupported type mangling is no longer a problem. This
change would also ease further merge when LLVM erases types of pointers
and introduces an unified pointer type.

Some minor changes are also introduced to gc_relocate related part in
InstCombineCalls, CodeGenPrepare, and Verifier accordingly.
