[NFC] Use SelectionDAG::getMemBasePlusOffset() instead of getNode(ISD::ADD)

Summary:
To find potential opportunities to use getMemBasePlusOffset() I looked at
all ISD::ADD uses found with the regex getNode\(ISD::ADD,.+,.+Ptr
in lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG. If this patch is accepted I will convert
the files in the individual backends too.

The motivation for this change is our out-of-tree CHERI backend
(https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/llvm-project). We use a separate register
type to store pointers (128-bit capabilities, which are effectively
unforgeable and monotonic fat pointers). These capabilities permit a
reduced set of operations and therefore use a separate ValueType (iFATPTR).
to represent pointers implemented as capabilities.
Therefore, we need to avoid using ISD::ADD for our patterns that operate
on pointers and need to use a function that chooses ISD::ADD or a new
ISD::PTRADD opcode depending on the value type.

We originally added a new DAG.getPointerAdd() function, but after this
patch series we can modify the implementation of getMemBasePlusOffset()
instead. Avoiding direct uses of ISD::ADD for pointer types will
significantly reduce the amount of assertion/instruction selection
failures for us in future upstream merges.
