Summary:
This change adds two new parameters to the statepoint intrinsic, `i64 id`
and `i32 num_patch_bytes`. `id` gets propagated to the ID field
in the generated StackMap section. If the `num_patch_bytes` is
non-zero then the statepoint is lowered to `num_patch_bytes` bytes of
nops instead of a call (the spill and reload code remains unchanged).
A non-zero `num_patch_bytes` is useful in situations where a language
runtime requires complete control over how a call is lowered.
This change brings statepoints one step closer to patchpoints. With
some additional work (that is not part of this patch) it should be
possible to get rid of `TargetOpcode::STATEPOINT` altogether.
PlaceSafepoints generates `statepoint` wrappers with `id` set to
`0xABCDEF00` (the old default value for the ID reported in the stackmap)
and `num_patch_bytes` set to `0`. This can be made more sophisticated
later.

Previously, this pass ran over every function in the Module if added to the pass order. With this change, it runs only over those with a GC attribute where the GC explicitly opts in. A GC can also choose which of entry safepoint polls, backedge safepoint polls, and call safepoints it wants. I hope to get these exposed as checks on the GCStrategy at some point, but for now, the checks are manual string comparisons.

These tests the two optimizations for backedge insertion currently implemented and the split backedge flag which is currently off by default.
