Value::printAsOperand has been scanning the entire module just to
print a single value as an operand, regardless being asked to print a
type or not at all, and regardless really needing to scan the module
to print a type.
It made some of the users of the method exceptionally slow on large
IR-modules (or large MIR-files with large IR-modules embedded).
This patch defers scanning a module looking for struct types, mostly
numbered struct types, as much as possible, speeding up those users
w/o changing any APIs at all.
See speedup examples below:

where sqlite3.O0.ll is non-optimized IR produced from
sqlite-amalgamation (http://sqlite.org/download.html), which is entire
SQLite3 implementation in a single C-file.
