* 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.
