[docs] [NFC] Clarify the datalayout documentation
ClosedPublic

Summary

This patch fixes a couple of small oversights in the documentation for the datalayout specification:

  • The v and f specifications are subject to the same constraints on <size> as i is.
  • The p[n] specification didn't mark <idx> as optional, despite being documented and parsed as such.
  • Similarly, none of the alignment specifications require <pref>.

Mark <pref> as optional in all of the alignment specs, since the DataLayout parser treats it as optional.

Ping for review on this.

Another gentle ping for review.

Looks good to me in general, thanks for updating the docs! Perhaps @t.p.northover has any further suggestions?

Pre-existing, but there seems to be some words missing here. "is the size of the index that is used"?

Fixed awkward language.

Yeah, that reads awkwardly to me. Fixed.
