7c9c6ed761 [opaque pointer type] Add textual IR support for explicit type parameter to load instruction
Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.

A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)

import fileinput
import sys
import re

pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")

for line in sys.stdin:
  sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

75d77cd179 [MachineSink] Use the real post dominator tree
Summary:
Fixes a FIXME in MachineSinking. Instead of using the simple heuristics in
isPostDominatedBy, use the real MachinePostDominatorTree and MachineLoopInfo.
The old heuristics caused instructions to sink unnecessarily, and might create
register pressure.

This is the second try of the fix. The first one (D4814) caused a performance
regression due to failing to sink instructions out of loops (PR21115). This
patch fixes PR21115 by sinking an instruction from a deeper loop to a shallower
one regardless of whether the target block post-dominates the source.

Thanks Alexey Volkov for reporting PR21115! 

Test Plan:
Added a NVPTX codegen test to verify that our change prevents the backend from
over-sinking. It also shows the unnecessary register pressure caused by
over-sinking.

Added an X86 test to verify we can sink instructions out of loops regardless of
the dominance relationship. This test is reduced from Alexey's test in PR21115.

Updated an affected test in X86.

Also ran SPEC CINT2006 and llvm-test-suite for compilation time and runtime
performance. Results are attached separately in the review thread.
