This fixes PR32471.
As comment 10 on that bug report highlights
(https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=32471#c10), there are quite a
few different defendable design tradeoffs that could be made, including
not representing pointers at all in LLT.
I decided to go for representing vector-of-pointer as a concept in LLT,
while keeping the size of the LLT type 64 bits (this is an increase from
48 bits before). My rationale for keeping pointers explicit is that on
some targets probably it's very handy to have the distinction between
pointer and non-pointer (e.g. 68K has a different register bank for
pointers IIRC). If we keep a scalar pointer, it probably is easiest to
also have a vector-of-pointers to keep LLT relatively conceptually clean
and orthogonal, while we don't have a very strong reason to break that
orthogonality. Once we gain more experience on the use of LLT, we can
of course reconsider this direction.
Rejecting vector-of-pointer types in the IRTranslator is also an option
to avoid the crash reported in PR32471, but that is only a very
short-term solution; also needs quite a bit of code tweaks in places,
and is probably fragile. Therefore I didn't consider this the best
option.

This reverts r300535 and r300537.
The newly added tests in test/CodeGen/AArch64/GlobalISel/arm64-fallback.ll
produces slightly different code between LLVM versions being built with different compilers.
E.g., dependent on the compiler LLVM is built with, either one of the following
can be produced:
remark: <unknown>:0:0: unable to legalize instruction: %vreg0<def>(p0) = G_EXTRACT_VECTOR_ELT %vreg1, %vreg2; (in function: vector_of_pointers_extractelement)
remark: <unknown>:0:0: unable to legalize instruction: %vreg2<def>(p0) = G_EXTRACT_VECTOR_ELT %vreg1, %vreg0; (in function: vector_of_pointers_extractelement)
Non-determinism like this is clearly a bad thing, so reverting this until
I can find and fix the root cause of the non-determinism.

Summary:
This will allow future patches to inspect the details of the LLT. The implementation is now split between
the Support and CodeGen libraries to allow TableGen to use this class without introducing layering concerns.
Thanks to Ahmed Bougacha for finding a reasonable way to avoid the layering issue and providing the version of this patch without that problem.
The problem with the previous commit appears to have been that TableGen was including CodeGen/LowLevelType.h instead of Support/LowLevelTypeImpl.h.

More module problems. This time it only showed up in the stage 2 compile of
clang-x86_64-linux-selfhost-modules-2 but not the stage 1 compile.
Somehow, this change causes the build to need Attributes.gen before it's been
generated.

It was only really there as a sentinel when instructions had to have precisely
one type. Now that registers are typed, each register really has to have a type
that is sized.

Otherwise everything that needs to work out what size they are has to keep a
DataLayout handy, which is a bit silly and very annoying.

When coming from an IR label type, we set a 0 NumElements, but not
when constructing an LLT using unsized(), causing comparisons to fail.
Pick one variant and fix the other.
