[AVR] Correctly set the pointer address space when constructing pointers to functions
This patch extends the existing `type_i8p` method so that it requires an
explicit address space to be specified. Before this patch, the
`type_i8p` method implcitily assumed the default address space, which is
not a safe transformation on all targets, namely AVR.
The Rust compiler already has support for tracking the "instruction
address space" on a per-target basis. This patch extends the code
generation routines so that an address space must always be specified.
In my estimation, around 15% of the callers of `type_i8p` produced
invalid code on AVR due to the loss of address space prior to LLVM final
code generation. This would lead to unavoidable assertion errors
relating to invalid bitcasts.
With this patch, the address space is always either 1) explicitly set to
the instruction address space because the logic is dealing with functions
which must be placed there, or 2) explicitly set to the default address
space 0 because the logic can only operate on data space pointers and thus
we keep the existing semantics of assuming the default, "data" address space.
