Refactor linalg lowering to LLVM

The linalg.view type used to be lowered to a struct containing a data pointer, offset, sizes/strides information. This was problematic when passing to external functions due to ABI, struct padding and alignment issues.

The linalg.view type is now lowered to LLVMIR as a *pointer* to a struct containing the data pointer, offset and sizes/strides. This simplifies the interfacing with external library functions and makes it trivial to add new functions without creating a shim that would go from a value type struct to a pointer type.

The consequences are that:
1. lowering explicitly uses llvm.alloca in lieu of llvm.undef and performs the proper llvm.load/llvm.store where relevant.
2. the shim creation function `getLLVMLibraryCallDefinition` disappears.
3. views are passed by pointer, scalars are passed by value. In the future, other structs will be passed by pointer (on a per-need basis).
