Stanislav Mekhanoshin ea91cca593 [AMDGPU] Add wave barrier builtin
The wave barrier represents the discardable barrier. Its main purpose is to
carry convergent attribute, thus preventing illegal CFG optimizations. All lanes
in a wave come to convergence point simultaneously with SIMT, thus no special
instruction is needed in the ISA. The barrier is discarded during code generation.
