[CBP] Pointer frontend changes + groupshared pointer support (#7848)

Resolves #7628
Resolves: #8197

Primary Goals:
1. Add `Access` to pointer
2. AddressSpace::GroupShared support for pointers (SPIR-V)
3. Add `__getAddress()` to replace `&`
* `&` is not updated to `require(cpu)` since slangpy uses `&`. This
means we must: (1) merge PR; (2) replace `&` with `__getAddress()`; (3)
add `require(cpu)` to `&`

Changes:
* Added to `Ptr` the `Access` generic argument & logic (for
`Access::Read`).
* Moved the generic argument `AddressSpace` from `Ptr` to the end of the
type.
* Added pointer casting support between any `Ptr` as long as the
`AddressSpace` is the same
* Disallow globallycoherent T* and coherent T*
* Disallow const T*, T const*, and const T*
* Fixed .natvis display of `ConstantValue` `ValOperandNode`
* Support generic resolution of type-casted integers
* Added `VariablePointer` emitting for spirv + other minor logic needed
for groupshared pointers

Breaking Changes:
* Anyone using the `AddressSpace` of `Ptr` will now have to account for
the `Access` argument
* we disallow various syntax paired with `Ptr` and `T*`
