[AMDGPU] Implement variadic functions by IR lowering (#93362)
This is a mostly-target-independent variadic function optimisation and lowering pass. It is only enabled for AMDGPU in this initial commit. The purpose is to make C style variadic functions a zero cost abstraction. They are lowered to equivalent IR which is then amenable to other optimisations. This is inherently slightly target specific but much less so than one might expect - the C varargs interface heavily constrains the ABI design divergence. The pass is primarily tested from webassembly. This is because wasm has a straightforward variadic lowering strategy which coincides exactly with what this pass transforms code into and a struct passing convention with few cases to check. Adding further targets conventions is straightforward and elided from this patch primarily to simplify the review. Implemented in other branches are Linux X86, AMD64, AArch64 and NVPTX. Testing for targets that have existing lowering for va_arg fro...
