It assumes that PointerType will keep having an optional pointee type,
but we'd like to remove the pointee type in PointerType at some point.
I feel like the current implementation could be simplified anyway,
although perhaps I'm underestimating the amount of work needed
throughout BitcodeReader.
We will still need a side table to keep track of pointee types. This
will be reimplemented at some point.
This is essentially a revert of a4771e9d (which doesn't look like it was
reviewed anyway).
