If we're going to assume references are dereferenceable, we should also
assume they're aligned: otherwise, we can't actually dereference them.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D80166
Because references must be initialized using some evaluated expression, they
must point to something, and a callee can assume the reference parameter is
dereferenceable. Taking advantage of a new attribute just added to LLVM, mark
them as such.
Because dereferenceability in addrspace(0) implies nonnull in the backend, we
don't need both attributes. However, we need to know the size of the object to
use the dereferenceable attribute, so for incomplete types we still emit only
nonnull.
