[flang] Add struct passing target rewrite hooks and partial X86-64 impl (#74829)

In the context of C/Fortran interoperability (BIND(C)), it is possible
to give the VALUE attribute to a BIND(C) derived type dummy, which
according to Fortran 2018 18.3.6 - 2. (4) implies that it must be passed
like the equivalent C structure value. The way C structure value are
passed is ABI dependent.

LLVM does not implement the C struct ABI passing for LLVM aggregate type
arguments. It is up to the front-end, like clang is doing, to split the
struct into registers or pass the struct on the stack (llvm "byval") as
required by the target ABI.
So the logic for C struct passing sits in clang. Using it from flang
requires setting up a lot of clang context and to bridge FIR/MLIR
representation to clang AST representation for function signatures (in
both directions). It is a non trivial task.
See
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39438033/passing-structs-by-value-in-llvm-ir/75002581#75002581.

Since BIND(C) struct are rather limited as opposed to generic C struct
(e.g. no bit fields). It is easier to provide a limited implementation
of it for the case that matter to Fortran.

This patch:
- Updates the generic target rewrite pass to keep track of both the new
argument type and attributes. The motivation for this is to be able to
tell if a previously marshalled argument is passed in memory (it is a C
pointer), or if it is being passed on the stack (has the byval llvm
attributes).
- Adds an entry point in the target specific codegen to marshal struct
arguments, and use it in the generic target rewrite pass.
- Implements limited support for the X86-64 case. So far, the support
allows telling if a struct must be passed in register or on the stack,
and to deal with the stack case. The register case is left TODO in this
patch.

The X86-64 ABI implemented is the System V ABI for AMD64 version 1.0

[flang] Updating drivers to create data layout before semantics (#73301)

Preliminary patch to change lowering/code generation to use
llvm::DataLayout information instead of generating "sizeof" GEP

[flang] Updating drivers to create data layout before semantics (#73301)

Preliminary patch to change lowering/code generation to use
llvm::DataLayout information instead of generating "sizeof" GEP (see
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/71507).

Fortran Semantic analysis needs to know about the target type size and
alignment to deal with common blocks, and intrinsics like
C_SIZEOF/TRANSFER. This information should be obtained from the
llvm::DataLayout so that it is consistent during the whole compilation
flow.

This change is changing flang-new and bbc drivers to:
1. Create the llvm::TargetMachine so that the data layout of the target
can be obtained before semantics.
2. Sharing bbc/flang-new set-up of the
SemanticConstext.targetCharateristics from the llvm::TargetMachine. For
now, the actual part that set-up the Fortran type size and alignment
from the llvm::DataLayout is left TODO so that this change is mostly an
NFC impacting the drivers.
3. Let the lowering bridge set-up the mlir::Module datalayout attributes
since it is doing it for the target attribute, and that allows the llvm
data layout information to be available during lowering.

For flang-new, the changes are code shuffling: the `llvm::TargetMachine`
instance is moved to `CompilerInvocation` class so that it can be used
to set-up the semantic contexts. `setMLIRDataLayout` is moved to
`flang/Optimizer/Support/DataLayout.h` (it will need to be used from
codegen pass for fir-opt target independent testing.)), and the code
setting-up semantics targetCharacteristics is moved to
`Tools/TargetSetup.h` so that it can be shared with bbc.

As a consequence, LLVM targets must be registered when running
semantics, and it is not possible to run semantics for a target that is
not registered with the -triple option (hence the power pc specific
modules can only be built if the PowerPC target is available.
