LLVM: Use getelementptr instruction for a lot of situations
LLVM supports creating pointers in two ways, firstly through pointer arithmetic (by casting between pointers and ints) and secondly using the getelementptr instruction. The second way is preferable as it gives LLVM more information to work with. This patch changes a lot of pointer related code from the first method to the getelementptr method.
