This patch introduces 2 new address spaces in OpenCL: global_device and global_host
which are a subset of a global address space, so the address space scheme will be
looking like:
```
generic->global->host
->device
->private
->local
constant
```
Justification: USM allocations may be associated with both host and device memory. We
want to give users a way to tell the compiler the allocation type of a USM pointer for
optimization purposes. (Link to the Unified Shared Memory extension:
https://github.com/intel/llvm/blob/sycl/sycl/doc/extensions/USM/cl_intel_unified_shared_memory.asciidoc)
Before this patch USM pointer could be only in opencl_global
address space, hence a device backend can't tell if a particular pointer
points to host or device memory. On FPGAs at least we can generate more
efficient hardware code if the user tells us where the pointer can point -
being able to distinguish between these types of pointers at compile time
allows us to instantiate simpler load-store units to perform memory
transactions.

The outputs between the direct ast-dump test and the ast-dump test after
deserialization should match modulo a few differences.
For hand-written tests, strip the "<undeserialized declarations>"s and
the "imported"s with sed.
For tests generated with "make-ast-dump-check.sh", regenerate the output.
Part 3/n.
Add printing of __private address space to TypePrinter to allow
it appears in diagnostics and AST dumps as all other language
addr spaces.
