Extend the mechanism to overload intrinsic arguments by using either
backward or forward references to the overloadable arguments.
In for example:
def int_something : Intrinsic<[LLVMPointerToElt<0>],
[llvm_anyvector_ty], []>;
LLVMPointerToElt<0> is a forward reference to the overloadable operand
of type 'llvm_anyvector_ty' and would allow intrinsics such as:
declare i32* @llvm.something.v4i32(<4 x i32>);
declare i64* @llvm.something.v2i64(<2 x i64>);
where the result pointer type is deduced from the element type of the
first argument.
If the returned pointer is not a pointer to the element type, LLVM will
give an error:
Intrinsic has incorrect return type!
i64* (<4 x i32>)* @llvm.something.v4i32
