Subject: [PATCH] [clang][CodeGen] Fix _BitInt return value miscompile
Use CreateMemTemp instead of CreateIRTemp for the return value alloca
to ensure proper memory representation for types like _BitInt that have
different IR and memory types.
For _BitInt(121), ConvertType returns i121 but ConvertTypeForMem returns
i128. When the return value is coerced to {i64, i64} for the ABI, storing
i121 and loading {i64, i64} would leave undefined bits in the result.
Using the memory type (i128) ensures all 128 bits are properly initialized.
Fixes #179448
