Previously, debuginfo types are annotated to
IR builtin preserve_struct_access_index() and
preserve_union_access_index(), but not
preserve_array_access_index(). The debug info
is useful to identify the root type name which
later will be used for type comparison.
For user access without explicit type conversions,
the previous scheme works as we can ignore intermediate
compiler generated type conversions (e.g., from union types to
union members) and still generate correct access index string.
The issue comes with user explicit type conversions, e.g.,
converting an array to a structure like below:
struct t { int a; char b[40]; };
struct p { int c; int d; };
struct t *var = ...;
... __builtin_preserve_access_index(&(((struct p *)&(var->b[0]))->d)) ...
Although BPF backend can derive the type of &(var->b[0]),
explicit type annotation make checking more consistent
and less error prone.
Another benefit is for multiple dimension array handling.
For example,
struct p { int c; int d; } g[8][9][10];
... __builtin_preserve_access_index(&g[2][3][4].d) ...
It would be possible to calculate the number of "struct p"'s
before accessing its member "d" if array debug info is
available as it contains each dimension range.
This patch enables to annotate IR builtin preserve_array_access_index()
with proper debuginfo type. The unit test case and language reference
is updated as well.

The original commit is r366076. It is temporarily reverted (r366155)
due to test failure. This resubmit makes test more robust by accepting
regex instead of hardcoded names/references in several places.
This is a followup patch for https://reviews.llvm.org/D61809.
Handle unnamed bitfield properly and add more test cases.
Fixed the unnamed bitfield issue. The unnamed bitfield is ignored
by debug info, so we need to ignore such a struct/union member
when we try to get the member index in the debug info.
D61809 contains two test cases but not enough as it does
not checking generated IRs in the fine grain level, and also
it does not have semantics checking tests.
This patch added unit tests for both code gen and semantics checking for
the new intrinsic.
