[flang][hlfir] Lower Cray pointee references. (#65563)

A Cray pointee reference must be done using the characteristics
(bounds, type params) of the original pointee declaration, but
using the actual address value of the associated Cray pointer.
There might be multiple Cray pointees associated with the same
Cray pointer.

The proposed solution is to lower each Cray pointee into a POINTER
variable with a descriptor. The descriptor is initialized at the point
of declaration of the pointee, though its base_addr is set to null.
Before each reference of the Cray pointee its descriptor's base_addr
is updated to the current value of the Cray pointer.

The update of the base_addr is done using PointerAssociateScalar
runtime call, which just updates the base_addr of the descriptor.
This is a temporary solution just to make Cray pointers work
to the same extent they work with FIR lowering.
