bors 70aa0b86c0 Auto merge of #121665 - erikdesjardins:ptradd, r=nikic
Always generate GEP i8 / ptradd for struct offsets

This implements #98615, and goes a bit further to remove `struct_gep` entirely.

Upstream LLVM is in the beginning stages of [migrating to `ptradd`](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-replacing-getelementptr-with-ptradd/68699). LLVM 19 will [canonicalize](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/68882) all constant-offset GEPs to i8, which has roughly the same effect as this change.

Fixes #121719.

Split out from #121577.

The files here use the LLVM FileCheck framework, documented at https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/FileCheck.html.

One extension worth noting is the use of revisions as custom prefixes for FileCheck. If your codegen test has different behavior based on the chosen target or different compiler flags that you want to exercise, you can use a revisions annotation, like so:

// revisions: aaa bbb
// [bbb] compile-flags: --flags-for-bbb

After specifying those variations, you can write different expected, or explicitly unexpected output by using <prefix>-SAME: and <prefix>-NOT:, like so:

// CHECK: expected code
// aaa-SAME: emitted-only-for-aaa
// aaa-NOT:                        emitted-only-for-bbb
// bbb-NOT:  emitted-only-for-aaa
// bbb-SAME:                       emitted-only-for-bbb
