Certain targets (e.g. amdgcn) require global variable to stay in global or constant address
space. In C or C++ global variables are emitted in the default (generic) address space.
This patch introduces virtual functions TargetCodeGenInfo::getGlobalVarAddressSpace
and TargetInfo::getConstantAddressSpace to handle this in a general approach.
It only affects IR generated for amdgcn target.

In C++ all variables are in default address space. Previously change has been
made to cast automatic variables to default address space. However that is
not sufficient since all temporary variables need to be casted to default
address space.
This patch casts all temporary variables to default address space except those
for passing indirect arguments since they are only used for load/store.
This patch only affects target having non-zero alloca address space.

For OpenCL, the private address space qualifier is 0 in AST. Before this change, 0 address space qualifier
is always mapped to target address space 0. As now target private address space is specified by
alloca address space in data layout, address space qualifier 0 needs to be mapped to alloca addr space specified by the data layout.
This change has no impact on targets whose alloca addr space is 0.
