Richard Smith 74ce7112c3 Fix behavior of __builtin_bit_cast when the From and To types are the
same.

We were missing the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion entirely in this case,
and in fact still need the full CK_LValueToRValueBitCast conversion to
perform a load with no TBAA.

Erik Pilkington eee944e7f9 [C++2a] Add __builtin_bit_cast, used to implement std::bit_cast
This commit adds a new builtin, __builtin_bit_cast(T, v), which performs a
bit_cast from a value v to a type T. This expression can be evaluated at
compile time under specific circumstances.

The compile time evaluation currently doesn't support bit-fields, but I'm
planning on fixing this in a follow up (some of the logic for figuring this out
is in CodeGen). I'm also planning follow-ups for supporting some more esoteric
types that the constexpr evaluator supports, as well as extending
__builtin_memcpy constexpr evaluation to use the same infrastructure.
