* Cleanup refactoring work around the IR builder
We have some long-term goals for the IR that require a more centralized and disciplined set of rules for how IR instructions get created/emitted. I had been working on trying to set things up so that all IR instruction creation goes through a single bottleneck point, but the non-trivial work in that branch was getting drowned out by the sheer volume of cleanup and refactoring changes. This change tries to pull together several of the more important cleanups.
The big pieces are:
* `IRBuilder` and `SharedIRBuilder` now protect their data members and rely on users to initialize them more directly via constructor of an `init()` method. This change affects a *bunch* of sites where `IRBuilder`s were created. I changed use sites to use the constructors whenever possible, and to use `init()` in cases where we had longer-lived builders that needed to be initialized multiple times.
* The insertion location for the `IRBuilder` now uses an encapsulated type called `IRInsertLoc`. This new type can replace what used to be just two `IRInst*` fields in the builder, and also covers some new functionality (if we ever want to take advantage of it). Very little client code cares about this change, but it is still a nice cleanup in terms of making things more explicit.
* The creation of an `IRModule` has been moded *out* of `IRBuilder`, because in practice we `IRBuilder` always wants to be associated with a pre-existing `IRModule` at creation time (via its `SharedIRBuilder`). There is now an `IRModule::create()` operation instead. This required changing the sequencing at many `IRModule` creation sites, since most had been contriving to make an `IRBuilder` first. There were also several cleanups because code had been carelessly using non-reference-counted pointers for `IRModule`s in ways that broke now that `IRModule::create()` always returns a `RefPtr`.
* The core operations to actually allocate memory for IR instructions were moved into `IRModule` (since they interact with the memory pool that the module owns). These *were* called `createEmptyInst()` but have been renamed into `_allocateInst()`. In principle these seem like they should only be needed to be called by the `IRBuilder`, but in practice they are also needed by the IR deserialization logic.
* A few core operations for emitting IR instructions that were associted with `IRBuilder` were moved to actually be methods on `IRBuilder`. First is `_findOrEmitConstant` which is the primary bottleneck for creating simple scalar constant values. Another is `_createInst` (formerly part of the templated `createInstImpl` along with `createInstWithSizeImpl`) which is the main bottleneck for allocation and initialization of any instruction other than a constant (well, the `IRModuleInst` is the other exception...). Finally, there is also `_maybeSetSourceLoc()`, which is obvious to scope inside the `IRBuilder` once it is protecting the source-location info.
Notes:
* The `minSizeInBytes` parameter to `_createInst()` might not actually be needed at all. At this point any `IRInst` subtypes that need data allocated for things other than their operands already get created manually via `_allocateInst` or `_findOrEmitConstant`, so I *think* we could remove that part. I will handle that in a subsequent cleanup if it turns out to be the case.
* There is one IR pass (`slang-ir-string-hash.cpp`) that is using manual `_allocateInst()` instead of going through an `IRBuilder`. It could be easily cleaned up to not do so (and I will probably make that change down the line), but for now I wanted to avoid doing anything that wasn't close to pure refactoring if I could.
* At this point in our design an `IRBuilder` is a very lightweight thing - it basically just owns the insertion location plus a source location to write into instructions. A lot of our code currently treats `IRBuilder`s like they are expensive and/or need to be re-used (which leads to them being used in more mutable/stateful ways). It is quite likely that as we clean up other aspects of the implementation of IR creation/emission we can make `IRBuilder` use feel more lightweight in ways that can streamline and simplify code.
* The next step for this work is to identify the different paths that eventually lead to `_createInst()` being called, and unify them at a single bottleneck operation that can own the decisions around when to create an instruction vs. when to re-use an existing one (rather than those decisions being baked into the various `IRBuilder` subroutines that create instructions of the various subtypes).
* fixup: gcc/clang C++ spec details

* Add an accessor for IRInst opcode
This main changing is renaming `IRInst::op` over to `IRInst::m_op` and then adds an accessor `IRInst::getOp()` to read it. The rest of the changes are just changing use sites to `getOp` (or to `m_op` in the limited cases where we write to it).
This work is in anticipation of a future change that might need to store an extra bit in the same field as the opcode. It seemed better to do this massive refactoring as a separate PR.
* fixup

Work on #1059
The `%` operator in the Slang implementation had several issues, and this change tries to address some of them:
* Renamed most occurences of "mod" describing this operator to be "rem" for "remainder" to better match its semantics in HLSL
* Split the operator into distinct integer and floating-point variants (`IRem` and `FRem`) to simplify having different codegen for the two
* Added floating-point variants of `operator%` and `operator%=` to the stdlib.
* Added custom C++ codegen for `kIROp_FRem` such that it maps to the standard C/C++ `remainder()` function
* Added custom GLSL codegen so that `kIROp_FRem` maps to the GLSL `mod()` function (which isn't correct...)
* Added a test case to confirm that D3D11, D3D12, and CPU targets all agree on the definition of floating-point `%`
* Fixed `render-test-tool` to allow a negative integer in a `data=...` specification. This didn't end up being used in the final test, but still seems like a good fix.
* Added a customized baseline for the Vulkan flavor of that test to confirm that we are *not* compiling correctly to SPIR-V just yet
Addressing the correctness of the output for GLSL/SPIR-V will have to come as a later change given that the operation we want is not exposed directly by unextended GLSL.

Before this change, global and function-scope `static const` declarations were represented as instructions of type `IRGlobalConstant`, which was represented similarly to an `IRGlobalVar`: with a "body" block of instructions that compute/return the initial value.
This representation inhibited optimizations (because a reference to a global constant would not in general be replaced with a reference to its value), and also caused problems for resource type legalization because the logic for type legalization did not (and still does not) handle initializers on globals (so global *variables* that contain resource types are still unsupported).
The change here is simple at the high level: we get rid of `IRGlobalConstant` and instead handle global-scope constants as "ordinary" instructions at the global scope. E.g., if we have a declaration like:
static const int a[] = { ... }
that will be represented in the IR as a `makeArray` instruction at the global scope, referencing other global-scope instructions that represent the values in the array.
This simple choice addresses both of the main limitations. A `static const` variable of integer/float/whatever type is now represented as just a reference to the given IR value and thus enables all the same optimizations. When a `static const` variable uses a type with resources, the existing legalization logic (which can handle most of the "ordinary" instructions already) applies.
Another secondary benefit of this approach is that the hacky `IREmitMode` enumeration is no longer needed to help us special-case source code emit for `static const` variables.
Beyond just removing `IRGlobalConstant`, and updating the lowering logic to use the initializer direclty, the main change here is to the emit logic to make it properly handle "ordinary" instructions that might appear at global scope.
One open issue with this change, that could be addressed in a follow-up change, is that "extern" global constants that need to be imported from another module (but which might not have a known value when the current module is compiled) aren't supported - we don't have a way to put a linkage decoration on them. A future change might re-introduce global constants as a distinct IR instruction type that just references the value as an operand (if it is available). We would then need to replace references to an IR constant with references to its value right after linking.
