Pass the content of scalar array references to the alloca on the kernel side
and do not pass them additional as normal LLVM scalar value.

Run the NVPTX backend over the GPUModule IR and write the resulting assembly
code in a string.
To work correctly, it is important to invalidate analysis results that still
reference the IR in the kernel module. Hence, this change clears all references
to dominators, loop info, and scalar evolution.
Finally, the NVPTX backend has troubles to generate code for various special
floating point types (not surprising), but also for uncommon integer types. This
commit does not resolve these issues, but pulls out problematic test cases into
separate files to XFAIL them individually and resolve them in future (not
immediate) changes one by one.

Initialize the list of references to a GPU array to ensure that the arrays that
need to be passed to kernel calls are computed correctly. Furthermore, the very
same information is also necessary to compute synchronization correctly. As the
functionality to compute these references is already available, what is left for
us to do is only to connect the necessary functionality to compute array
reference information.

Arrays with integer base type are similar to arrays with floating point types,
with the exception that LLVM's integer types can take some odd values. We
add a selection of different values to make sure we correctly round these
types when necessary.
References to scalar integer types are special, as we currently do not model
these types as array accesses as they are considered 'synthesizable' by Polly.
As a result, we do not generate explicit data-transfers for them, but instead
will need to keep track of all references to 'synthesizable' values separately.
At the current stage, this is only visible by missing host-to-device
data-transfer calls. In the future, we will also require special code generation
strategies.

We currently only test that the code structure we generate for these scalar
parameters is correct and we add these types to make sure later code generation
additions have sufficient test coverage.
In case some of these types cannot be mapped due to missing hardware support
on the GPU some of these test cases may need to be updated later on.
