Auto merge of #122050 - erikdesjardins:sret, r=nikic
Stop using LLVM struct types for byval/sret
For `byval` and `sret`, the type has no semantic meaning, only the size matters\*†. Using `[N x i8]` is a more direct way to specify that we want `N` bytes, and avoids relying on LLVM's struct layout.
\*: The alignment would matter, if we didn't explicitly specify it. From what I can tell, we always specified the alignment for `sret`; for `byval`, we didn't until #112157.
†: For `byval`, the hidden copy may be impacted by padding in the LLVM struct type, i.e. padding bytes may not be copied. (I'm not sure if this is done today, but I think it would be legal.) But we manually pad our LLVM struct types specifically to avoid there ever being LLVM-visible padding, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Split out from #121577.
