Summary

convertPtrAddToAdd improved overall code size and quality by a significant amount, but on -O0 we generate some cross-class copies due to the fact that we emitted G_PTRTOINT and G_INTTOPTR around the G_ADD. Unfortunately at -O0 we don't run any
register coalescing, so these cross class copies end up escaping as moves, and we ended up regressing 3 benchmarks on CTMark (though still a winner overall).

This patch changes the lowering to instead directly emit the G_ADD into the destination register, and then force changes the dest LLT to s64 from p0. This should be ok, as all uses of the register should now be selected and therefore
the LLT doesn't matter for the users. It does however matter for the importer patterns, which will fail to select a G_ADD if there's a p0 LLT.

I'm not able to get rid of the G_PTRTOINT on the source yet however. We can't use the same trick of breaking the type system since that could break the selection of the defining instruction. Thus with -O0 we still end up with a cross class copy on source.

Code size improvements on -O0:
