When we have an annotated local variable after a function returns, we
generate IR that fails verification with the error
> Instruction referencing instruction not embedded in a basic block!
And it means that bitcast referencing alloca doesn't have a parent basic
block.
Fix by checking if we are at an unreachable point and skip emitting
annotations. This approach is similar to the way we emit variable
initializer and debug info.

i32 __builtin_annotation(i32, string);
Applying it to i64 (e.g., long long) generates the following IR.
trunc i64 {{.*}} to i32
call i32 @llvm.annotation.i32
zext i32 {{.*}} to i64
The redundant truncation and extension make the result difficult to use.
This patch makes __builtin_annotation() generic.
type __builtin_annotation(type, string);
For the i64 example, it simplifies the generated IR to:
call i64 @llvm.annotation.i64
