stage2: improve addrspace handling
This commit changes the way Zig is intended to deal with variable declaration for exotic targets. Where previously the idea was to enfore local/global variables to be placed into their respective address spaces, depending on the target, this is now fixed to the generic address space. To facilitate this for targets where local variables _must_ be generated into a specific address space (ex. amdgcn where locals must be generated into the private address space), the variable allocations (alloca) are generated into the right address space and then addrspace-casted back to the generic address space. While this could be less efficient in theory, LLVM will hopefull deal with figuring out the actual correct address space for a pointer for us. HIP seems to do the same thing in this regard. Global variables are handled in a similar way.
