Preparation for a subsequent change that replaces
rustc_target::config::Config with its wrapped Target.
On its own, this commit breaks the build. I don't like making
build-breaking commits, but in this instance I believe that it
makes review easier, as the "real" changes of this PR can be
seen much more easily.

A significant amount of intrinsics do not actually need backend-specific
behaviors to be implemented, instead relying on methods already in
rustc_codegen_ssa. So, extract those methods out to rustc_codegen_ssa,
so that each backend doesn't need to reimplement the same code.
Make to_immediate/from_immediate configurable by backends
`librustc_codegen_ssa` has the concept of an immediate vs. memory type, and `librustc_codegen_llvm` uses this distinction to implement `bool`s being `i8` in memory, and `i1` in immediate contexts. However, some of that implementation leaked into `codegen_ssa` when converting to/from immediate values. So, move those methods into builder traits, so that behavior can be configured by backends.
This is useful if a backend is able to keep bools as bools, or, needs to do more trickery than just bools to bytes.
(Note that there's already a large amount of things abstracted with "immediate types" - this is just bringing this particular thing in line to be abstracted as well)

Pinging @eddyb since that's who I was talking about this change with when they suggested I submit a PR.
