David Blaikie 8e3c8d089a [opaque pointer type] Encode the pointee type in the bitcode for 'cmpxchg'
As a space optimization, this instruction would just encode the pointer
type of the first operand and use the knowledge that the second and
third operands would be of the pointee type of the first. When typed
pointers go away, this assumption will no longer be available - so
encode the type of the second operand explicitly and rely on that for
the third.

Test case added to demonstrate the backwards compatibility concern,
which only comes up when the definition of the second operand comes
after the use (hence the weird basic block sequence) - at which point
the type needs to be explicitly encoded in the bitcode and the record
length changes to accommodate this.
