Previously, GEPOp relies on `findKnownStructIndices` to check if a GEP
index should be static. The truth is, `findKnownStructIndices` can only
tell you a GEP index _might_ be indexing into a struct (which should use
a static GEP index). But GEPOp::build and GEPOp::verify are falsely
taking this information as a certain answer, which creates many false
alarms like the one depicted in
`test/Target/LLVMIR/Import/dynamic-gep-index.ll`.
The solution presented here adopts a new verification scheme: When we're
recursively checking the child element types of a struct type, instead
of checking every child types, we only check the one dictated by the
(static) GEP index value. We also combine "refinement" logics --
refine/promote struct index mlir::Value into constants -- into the very
verification process since they have lots of logics in common. The
resulting code is more concise and less brittle.
We also hide GEPOp::findKnownStructIndices since most of the
aforementioned logics are already encapsulated within GEPOp::build and
GEPOp::verify, we found little reason for findKnownStructIndices (or the
new findStructIndices) to be public.
