[AMDGPU] Generalize amdgcn.make.buffer.rsrc to fat pointers (#126828)

Attempting to pass a `ptr addrspace(7)` to functions that take `ptr`
arguments produces undesirable `addrspacecast(addrspacecast(p8 x to p7)
to p0) => addrspacecast(p8 x to p0)` folds. This results in illegal GEP
operations on buffer resources, which can't be GEP'd. (However, note
that, while unimplemneted, addressspacecast from ptr addrspace(7) to ptr
is legal - it's just an effective address computation)

To resolve this problem, and thus prevent illegal
`getelementptr T, ptr addrspace(8) %x, ...` s from being produces, this
commit extends amdgcn.make.buffer.rsrc to also be variadic in its result
type, auto-upgrading old manglings.

The logic for handling a make.buffer.rsrc in instruction selection
remains untouched and expects the output type to be a ptr addrspace(8),
as does the Clang lowering for its builtin (the pointer-to-pointer
version might want a different name in clang). LowerBufferFatPointers
has been updated to lower
amdgcn.make.buffer.rsrc.p7.p* to amdgcn.make.buffer.rsrc.p8.p* .

This'll also make exposing buffer fat pointers in Clang easier, since
you don't have to cast between a `__amdgcn_rsrc_t` and a pointer.
