Improve opaque pointers support Opaque pointers are coming, and rustc is not ready. This adds partial support by passing an explicit load type to LLVM. Two issues I've encountered: * The necessary type was not available at the point where non-temporal copies were generated. I've pushed the code for that upwards out of the memcpy implementation and moved the position of a cast to make do with the types we have available. (I'm not sure that cast is needed at all, but have retained it in the interest of conservativeness.) * The `PlaceRef::project_deref()` function used during debuginfo generation seems to be buggy in some way -- though I haven't figured out specifically what it does wrong. Replacing it with `load_operand().deref()` did the trick, but I don't really know what I'm doing here. |

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.
