rename ptr::from_exposed_addr -> ptr::with_exposed_provenance
As discussed on [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/136281-t-opsem/topic/To.20expose.20or.20not.20to.20expose/near/427757066).
The old name, `from_exposed_addr`, makes little sense as it's not the address that is exposed, it's the provenance. (`ptr.expose_addr()` stays unchanged as we haven't found a better option yet. The intended interpretation is "expose the provenance and return the address".)
The new name nicely matches `ptr::without_provenance`.
We already use `Instance` at declaration sites when available to glean
additional information about possible abstractions of the type in use.
This does the same when possible at callsites as well.
The primary purpose of this change is to allow CFI to alter how it
generates type information for indirect calls through `Virtual`
instances.
Add asm goto support to `asm!`
Tracking issue: #119364
This PR implements asm-goto support, using the syntax described in "future possibilities" section of [RFC2873](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2873-inline-asm.html#asm-goto).
Currently I have only implemented the `label` part, not the `fallthrough` part (i.e. fallthrough is implicit). This doesn't reduce the expressive though, since you can use label-break to get arbitrary control flow or simply set a value and rely on jump threading optimisation to get the desired control flow. I can add that later if deemed necessary.

rename 'try' intrinsic to 'catch_unwind'
The intrinsic has nothing to do with `try` blocks, and corresponds to the stable `catch_unwind` function, so this makes a lot more sense IMO.
Also rename Miri's special function while we are at it, to reflect the level of abstraction it works on: it's an unwinding mechanism, on which Rust implements panics.
Add newtypes for bool fields/params/return types
Fixed all the cases of this found with some simple searches for `*/ bool` and `bool /*`; probably many more
Fix overflow check
Make MIRI choose the path randomly and rename the intrinsic
Add back test
Add miri test and make it operate on `ptr`
Define `llvm.is.constant` for primitives
Update MIRI comment and fix test in stage2
Add const eval test
Clarify that both branches must have the same side effects

use immediate type instead

Separate immediate and in-memory ScalarPair representation
Currently, we assume that ScalarPair is always represented using a two-element struct, both as an immediate value and when stored in memory.
This currently works fairly well, but runs into problems with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116672, where a ScalarPair involving an i128 type can no longer be represented as a two-element struct in memory. For example, the tuple `(i32, i128)` needs to be represented in-memory as `{ i32, [3 x i32], i128 }` to satisfy alignment requirements. Using `{ i32, i128 }` instead will result in the second element being stored at the wrong offset (prior to LLVM 18).
Resolve this issue by no longer requiring that the immediate and in-memory type for ScalarPair are the same. The in-memory type will now look the same as for normal struct types (and will include padding filler and similar), while the immediate type stays a simple two-element struct type. This also means that booleans in immediate ScalarPair are now represented as i1 rather than i8, just like we do everywhere else.
The core change here is to llvm_type (which now treats ScalarPair as a normal struct) and immediate_llvm_type (which returns the two-element struct that llvm_type used to produce). The rest is fixing things up to no longer assume these are the same. In particular, this switches places that try to get pointers to the ScalarPair elements to use byte-geps instead of struct-geps.

Implement repr(packed) for repr(simd)
This allows creating vectors with non-power-of-2 lengths that do not have padding. See rust-lang/portable-simd#319
cleanup: remove pointee types
This can't be merged until the oldest LLVM version we support uses opaque pointers, which will be the case after #114148. (Also note `-Cllvm-args="-opaque-pointers=0"` can technically be used in LLVM 15, though I don't think we should support that configuration.)
I initially hoped this would provide some minor perf win, but in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105412#issuecomment-1341224450 it had very little impact, so this is only valuable as a cleanup.
As a followup, this will enable #96242 to be resolved.
