[InstCombine] Unify handling of atomic memtransfer with non-atomic memtransfer

Summary

This change reworks the handling of atomic memcpy within the instcombine pass.
Previously, a constant length atomic memcpy would be lowered into loads & stores
as long as no more than 16 load/store pairs are created. This is quite different
from the lowering done for a non-atomic memcpy; which only ever lowers into a single
load/store pair of no more than 8 bytes. Larger constant-sized memcpy calls are
expanded to load/stores in later passes, such as SelectionDAG lowering.

In this change the behaviour for atomic memcpy is unified with non-atomic memcpy;
atomic memcpy is now treated in the same was as non-atomic memcpy has always been.
We leave it to later passes to lower longer-length atomic memcpy calls.

Due to the structure of the pass's handling of memtransfer intrinsics, this change
also gives us handling of atomic memmove that we did not previously have.

This is wrong. The length of an atomic memtransfer is in bytes, so there is no need to multiply by the element size.

  • Don't multiply length by element size for atomic memtransfer intrinsics.
  • Add tests to show proper behaviour in this case.
