cleanup: remove pointee types
This can't be merged until the oldest LLVM version we support uses opaque pointers, which will be the case after #114148. (Also note `-Cllvm-args="-opaque-pointers=0"` can technically be used in LLVM 15, though I don't think we should support that configuration.)
I initially hoped this would provide some minor perf win, but in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105412#issuecomment-1341224450 it had very little impact, so this is only valuable as a cleanup.
As a followup, this will enable #96242 to be resolved.

One extension worth noting is the use of revisions as custom prefixes for
FileCheck. If your codegen test has different behavior based on the chosen
target or different compiler flags that you want to exercise, you can use a
revisions annotation, like so:
After specifying those variations, you can write different expected, or
explicitly unexpected output by using <prefix>-SAME: and <prefix>-NOT:,
like so:
