Hood ChathamandPaulo Matos 765f0d14fe [WebAssembly] Represent reference types as TargetExtType (#203165)
Originally #71540 by Paolo Matos, I picked it up and finished it.
Resolves https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/69894.

Model WebAssembly externref and funcref as target("wasm.externref") /
target("wasm.funcref") TargetExtTypes instead of pointers in
non-integral address spaces 10 and 20.

The entire WebAssemblyLowerRefTypesIntPtrConv can be removed.

This breaks the GlobalISel handling for reference types, I just disabled
GlobalISel handling for functions that use them.

I added intrinsics for `wasm.ptr.to_funcref` and `wasm.funcref.to_ptr`.
ptr.to_funcref does a table.get from the indirect function pointer
table. As a special case, 0 is converted to the null funcref rather than
doing table.get on 0. `wasm.funcref.to_ptr` is only handled when we call
it immediately, otherwise it will fail to lower. We could dynamically
put the funcref into the table to make it work but that would require a
stack of spilled funcrefs and isn't worth the effort.

In the process of looking into this, I noticed that clang used to allow
casting from funcref to function pointer but if the cast result escaped
it would hit `Cannot select: FUNCREF_TO_PTR` in the backend. I added a
diagnostic that says "a funcref can only be converted to a pointer to be
directly called" to make this a little cleaner.
