Previously, EnterStructPointerForCoercedAccess used Alloc size when determining how to convert. This was problematic, because there were situations were the alloc size was larger than the store size. For example, if the first element of a structure were i24 and the destination type were i32, the old code would generate a GEP and a load i24. The code should compare store sizes to ensure the whole object is loaded. I have attached a test case.
This patch modifies the output of arm64-be-bitfield.c test case, but the new IR seems to be equivalent, and after -O3, the compiler generates identical ARM assembly. (asr x0, x0, #54)

arm64_be doesn't really exist; it was useful for testing while AArch64 and
ARM64 were separate, but now the only real way to refer to the system is
aarch64_be.

Previously we calculated the shift amount based upon DataLayout::getTypeAllocSizeInBits.
This will only work for legal types - types such as i24 that are created as part of
structs for bitfields will return "32" from that function. Change to using
getTypeSizeInBits.
It turns out that AArch64 didn't run across this problem because it always returned
[1 x i64] as the type for a bitfield, whereas ARM64 returns i64 so goes down this
(better, but wrong) codepath.
