For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
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.

When comparing unqualified types, canonical types should be used, otherwise equivalent types may be treated as different type.

In codegen different address spaces may be mapped to the same address
space for a target, e.g. in x86/x86-64 all address spaces are mapped
to 0. Therefore AddressSpaceConversion should be translated by
CreatePointerBitCastOrAddrSpaceCast instead of CreateAddrSpaceCast.

OpenCL v2.0 s6.5.5 restricts conversion of pointers to different address spaces:
- the named address spaces (__global, __local, and __private) => __generic - implicitly converted;
- __generic => named - with an explicit cast;
- named <=> named - disallowed;
- __constant <=> any other - disallowed.
