Sparse front-end generates SYM_PTR with SYM_BASETYPE with bit_size set to -1
for "void *" pointers. We currently map that to LLVMVoidType() but that no
longer works with LLVM Subversion trunk:
$ ./sparse-llvm validation/backend/struct.c
sparse-llvm: Type.cpp:676: static llvm::PointerType* llvm::PointerType::get(llvm::Type*, unsigned int): Assertion `isValidElementType(EltTy) && "Invalid type for pointer element!"' failed.
Aborted
Fix the issue by switching to LLVMIntType(bits_per_pointer) in
sym_basetype_type().
