Stop using LLVM struct types for byval/sret For `byval` and `sret`, the type has no semantic meaning, only the size matters\*†. Using `[N x i8]` is a more direct way to specify that we want `N` bytes, and avoids relying on LLVM's struct layout. \*: The alignment would matter, if we didn't explicitly specify it. From what I can tell, we always specified the alignment for `sret`; for `byval`, we didn't until #112157. †: For `byval`, the hidden copy may be impacted by padding in the LLVM struct type, i.e. padding bytes may not be copied. (I'm not sure if this is done today, but I think it would be legal.) But we manually pad our LLVM struct types specifically to avoid there ever being LLVM-visible padding, so that shouldn't be an issue. Split out from #121577. r? `@nikic` |

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
