[TableGen] Optimize intrinsic info type signature encoding

Add intrinsic emitter option to change the "fixed encoding" table used
for encoding intrinsic type signature to use 16-bit encoding as opposed
to 32-bit.

To better segragate LLVM Core from this encoding detail, add a function
`decodeIITFixedEncoding` to the emitted code to decode the fixed
encoding. This allows TableGen intrinsic emitter to choose 16 or 32-bit
fixed encoding withot changing the LLVM code.

When using 16-bit encoding, we seem to reduce the total static storage
size of this info by 50%. Currently measure data is as follows

- Current size = 14193*4 + 16058 + 3 = 72833 bytes.
- New size = 14193*2 + 19879 + 3 = 48268 bytes.
- Reduction = 50.9%
