Auto merge of #122053 - erikdesjardins:alloca, r=nikic

Stop using LLVM struct types for alloca

The alloca type has no semantic meaning, only the size (and alignment, but we specify it explicitly) matter. Using `[N x i8]` is a more direct way to specify that we want `N` bytes, and avoids relying on LLVM's struct layout. It is likely that a future LLVM version will change to an untyped alloca representation.

Split out from #121577.
